Bids that Require Advance Preparation

We play XYZ + 2/1 GF

We play Multi-Landy. Over a strong NT, double is 5m4M or long minor. And over weak 1NT, double is penalty.

General Bidding Style

2/1 + XYZ

Major openings are 5+
1D is 4+
1C is 2+ (2 only when it is 4432)

1NT 15-17

When preempting favorable in 1st/3rd seat, the hand could be weak or with only 5.

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

We play standard honor leads, and lead top of doubletons.

Against NT, we generally lead fourth best if we like the suit.

Against suits, we play third from even and low from odd.

Defensive Signals

We play UDCA.

For discards, we use odd/even discards

Our priorities for partner led suits are attitude then count. Suit preference when it is obvious (e.g. singleton or void in dummy).

For count, we give remaining count when opponents lead.
