Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| Vs suits: standard honor card leads. A from AK except doubletons, 5 level+, partner's suit, or defending against 3 level openers or higher. We lead 3/5 against suits. 4th best from honor and high or 2nd high from weak 3, 4, or 5 card holdings against NT.
A asks for unblock or count, King asks for attitude, Q asks for J vs. NT |
Defensive Signals
| Signals are standard.
Smith Echo against NT. Our normal signals at trick one are attitude. Some suit preference in trumps |
