| We play mixed raises:
1X (1Y) 3 of a suit with a jump below pard's suit'X' is mixed raise. No room no mixed raise. or jump bid of LHO's suit on pard's overcall is mixed raise |
| 5-Card Majors, Strong NT 14+-17, 2/1 GF.
1NT could have 5-card Major (common) but generally not with 5-2-4-2. 1 level overcalls 7+ HCP. 2-level overcalls specially when vulnerable are very sound (a good suit or a good hand or both) Usually open 1D with 4-4 in minors We open hands with a count of 20 with 10 or 11 HCPs. In 3rd seat we take liberty to deviate from our normal system. when vul we play sound weak 2 openers. |
| 3rd from even, low from odd against suit, and 4th best against NT.
Lead of K against NT asks pardner to unblock or give count. Leads of A or Q against NT asks pard for attitude. In the middle of the hand we play 10, 9 implies zero or two higher cards, and J denies a higher honor. Usually low from xxx in partner’s suit, specially when unsupported, giving count. |
| Std. Count and attitude
We give frequent suit preference including in the trump suit. Lead of a low card in a new suit generally implies, return my suit partner When opps lead a suit we may or may not give count when we follow When pard leads A from AK against suit contract, and dummy has a singleton in that suit, we give suit preference. |
