General Bidding Style
| Very normal expert standard type style
1NT often upgraded with 14 and 5 card suit Balanced 11 only opened if it's good. |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| 3/5 suits, 4th nt or possibly 2nd from bad 4+ card suit.
Rusinow from 4+ vs notrump (and Q from KQx - K is power). Coded 9s and 10s midhand. |
Defensive Signals
| UDCA
Typically attitude on partner's lead, count on declarer's lead, suit preference if dummy has a singleton or continuing is clearly wrong. Suit preference can be given in trumps or after primary signal is given or if we believe partner has led a singleton. Reverse smith echo, standard present count if given. |
