| 3rd and low vs suits

Defensive Signals
| We use standard signals with attitude being our primary signal, we give standard count during the hand as needed. We can give suit preference when none of the above are required, which may include the trump suit.
We use Regular SMITH vs NT as appropriate. We can always revert to suit preference when that seems appropriate |
