| 2 D over 1NT = Major 1 suiter |
| 5 card majors, Strong NT, 2/1 GF
We open 11 or 12 Bal, and 10-11 Unbal May respond with very weak hand 1 level overcalls can be light 1M, P, 2C = GF, NAT or BAL Usually open 1C with 3-3 in minors Usually open 1D with 4-4 in minors Use judgment with 4-5 in minors 1 NT could have 5 cd M (common) or 6 card minor (rarer) Preempts: wide range (could be good or bad) |
| vs NT: 4th best, might lead second from bad suits
vs NT; 3rd/5th in partner's suit vs NT: A from AKx in 3+ card suit vs NT: Top of seq from 3 or shorter suit, and in partners suit vs Suits: 3rd from even or 3, 5th from odd, but may lead high from nothing in partner's raised suit. "Impossible" lead could show side void, including spot lower than 5th best vs Suits: A from AKx Spot leads normally attitude during hand (rarely low=odd, high =even for count) |
| Upside down count and attitude signals
Signalling priority normally: Attitude, Count, Suit Pref (may vary with logic) Count in partner's suit if dummy wins trick 1 vs NT with Q or lower Suit Pref with singleton in dummy Occasional suit-pref in trumps Smith Echo vs NT |
