Bids that Require Advance Preparation

Reverse Flannery responses
1C-P-2D = Mixed raise in C
1m-P-2H = 5-8 HCP with 5+-card S & 4+-card H
1m-P-2S = 9-11 HCP with 5+-card S & 4+-card H

1H-P-2S = 6+ card spades, less than invitational values
1M-P-2N = LIM+ 4-card+

Transfer resp. and transfer advances after 1M (X) including Sandwich seat 1M.

After (1m) P (1N):
2C = 5-4 either way in majors
2D = Michaels 5+-5+ in majors

When we open or overcall 1M, and the next hand acts, 2N, jump or not, is a 4-card raise. By a PH a raise even if they don't act.

General Bidding Style

Strong NT 14+-17, Normal Opening Style (open nearly all bal. 12 HCP), Normal Preemptive Style, 1st Seat white vs. red could be light.

We play 5 card majors and 2/1 GF
3-3 opens 11C. 4-4 and 4-5 may open either minor.

Open all balanced 12's non vul

We frequently respond to opening bids with fewer than 6 HCP, especially non-vul.

We routinely bypass a 4-card major to rebid 1N. Our 1M rebid is assumed to be unbalanced.
We routinely rebid 1N with a stiff in responder's major with no other good rebid.

1430 responses to KC except Exclusion or Preempt KC.
