Bids that Require Advance Preparation
| 1nt might be unbalanced.
Opening 3N in first, second and third seat is a solid Major 1m-2  5-5 majors less then inv |
General Bidding Style
| Standard 2 over 1 style with 14 + - 17 NT. We open all 12 point hands and 10 or 11 points with shape. We play 5 card majors but in 3/4 seat it may only be 4. With 4-4 in minors we tend to open 1  We play Walsh style so 1  p 1 p 1N could contain one or both majors. We play 2 way checkback regardless of minor opened. All invitational auctions start with 2 over NT rebid. Jumps are GF. 1m p 2m+1 is 5+  and 4+ non invite and 1m p 2m+2 is same except invitational
1m 3m and 1M 3M are mixed. Transfers over 1M x regardless of how we got there. Over 1M opening jump to 2 Under is a LR. |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| Vs Suits, Standard honor card leads
A from AK until 5 level then K from AK. Leads against NT are std except King is power We lead 3/5 against suits and 4th or 2nd against NT. After opening leads, we tend to lead count through declarer and dummy. We lead ace from ak through 4 level vs suits. Regular Smith if used. |
Defensive Signals
| Our normal signals at trick one are attitude against suits and when possible count against NT (dummy wins first trick).
Standard carding trick 1 and then upside down count and attitude. Std present count Trump suit preference smith vs NT |
