Bids that Require Advance Preparation

1m - 2H is Reverse Flannery, 5+S4+H, usually 7-9.
1m - 2S is Jacoby 2NT style asking bid, GF with m support.
Except uncontested 1st/2nd seat 1M openings, we play 1NT through 2M-1 as transfers over our 1M openings or overcalls if uncontested or double or 1-level contested (1S/1NT). 2M-1 shows a constructive raise or better. Transfer to a minor may be only a 4-card suit if nothing else suitable.

Openings are 5533. 3rd seat may be light. 1NT 15-17, could be with a 5-card major.

Standard attitude leads in the middle of the hand.
