Bids that Require Advance Preparation
| We play transfers over your direct strong nt and in both seats over your weak nt by unpassed hands. We play jump shift in other major is a mixed raise. Opening 3N 1st/2nd seat = solid major 3rd/4th to play (if CC says 25-26 then CC is wrong) |
General Bidding Style
| We open pretty sound (especially billy) both one bids and preempts. Our nt range is 14+ to 17-,upgrading frequently(especially Gary). We may open very light in third seat favorable. We normally have six for a weak 2' but can have five non vul. 2  -2 -2 -2 -? then revised Kokish 3= 1-suit || 3= & |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| 4 th best 3rd and 5th vrs slams if we want to give count card. A from ace king until five level unless declarer has preempted with three or four of a major. In middle of hand we lead 4th or attitude if warranted. Vrs nt we lead Rusinow from four or more except in partners suit. King is big lead vrs no trump |
Defensive Signals
| We play standard signals and no smith echo. We give partner what we think partner needs to know. Generally, we give attitude when we lead a suit and count or suit preference or nothing when you do. |
