Bids that Require Advance Preparation
2 over 1NT = Major 1-suiter
1m - (P) - 2  By UPH = Either BAL-INV or NAT-Strong
1M - 3  = Either Inv with 3-supp or min GF with 4-supp
1M-3 = Limit Raise
3NT Opening = Solid M |
General Bidding Style
| 5-card Majors, Strong NT, 2/1 GF
Balanced openings are usually with at least 12 HCP, but may upgrade or downgrade. May respond with weak hands, especially if unbalanced or NV. Usually open 1 with 4-4 in minors.
INT could be with a 5-card Major, common but not mandatory if within range. 1M – 1N = Semi-Force 1M - 2 = GF, could be with a three card suit.

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| Vs NT: 4th best, might lead second from weak suits
Vs NT: Rusinow and A from AK in 4+ card suits (with K requesting unblock or count) Vs NT: Top of sequence from 3 or less, partner’s suit, or through dummy’s suit. Vs Suit: Rusinow in own suit Vs Suit: A from AK in unbid suit (by us) below 5-level. |
Defensive Signals
| Normal Signaling Priority: Attitude, Count, Suit Preference
Suit-preference if shortness in dummy, but not if TRNF with long suit in dummy At Trick 1 vs NT: Attitude if A or K wins in dummy. If Q wins, attitude for J. If J or lower wins, give count. After trick one, leads in a new suit normally have attitude implications. |
