Bids that Require Advance Preparation

3rd seat NV 1N opening shows 10-14
Our run out system over PEN X of 10-14 is:
    XX = Two suited (not D+Major)
    2C = C, H, S, D+H, or D+S
    2D = D, H, or S
      -- If H or S we are willing to play 2D undoubled
    Bidding a suit and redoubling is often asking 1N opener to bid the next suit

1D - 2C NF
1H - 1S 0-4S (like a forcing NT)
1H - 2C 5+S
1H - 2D 3(4)H limit raise or minimum GF

General Bidding Style

We play transfer responses to our 1C Opening, which can be as short as 2C. 1D opener is semi balanced or unbalanced, usually has 5D+ (only 4D if some 4441). We open most 11+ HCP balanced hands NV, most 12+HCP balanced when vulnerable. Transfer rebids after 1D-1M 14+-17 NT Opener in all seats and position except for 3rd seat NV then it's 10-14.

GF relays:
1C - 1N
1D - 1N
1H - 1N

Aggressive 2/3 level preempts NV

Defensive Signals

STD Attitude at T1 ONLY

UD attitude is our primary signal followed by UD count then STD S/P.

We always try to give the signal that is most useful to partner

Will card randomly if we don't think partner needs to know or has nothing to do.
