General Bidding Style

Basic 2/1. Open most balanced 12's, few balanced 11's but will open light with shape.
Preempts are vul. and position based. Weak 2's almost always 6(7) vul, can be 5 nv.

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

3/5 vs suits, 4th vs Nt (2nd best optional from bad holdings) Rusinow vs NT from 4+. 0/2 after trick 1 vs all.
K is power lead against NT, so Q can be from KQ holding that wants attitude signal.

Defensive Signals

standard, but SP 1 vs suits except on A lead.
Can lead either A or K from AK holdings. A gets attitude, K SP.
On A lead against NT, encouraging suggest continuing high.

Except as above, priority is Att, count, SP
Signal fairly frequently early in the hand, then as needed
