Bids that Require Advance Preparation
2 opener = 5+ 4+ 10-15 HCP
2NT opener = 55+ minors preempt 1 -2 = 5+ 4+ less than inv.
1 -2 = 5+ 4+ inv.
1 -3 = 5+ 4+ less than inv.
1NT-2 = asks for 4-card , or to show many weak 2-suiters
1NT-2 = transfer, but can be on 4-card if inv.+
Transfers in many competitive auctions: 1 -(X), 1-(1), 1-(2)
1M-(X), (1m)-1M-(X) (1x)-1y/2y Woolsey vs. strong NT (2 = one Major) |
General Bidding Style
| Precision:
1 = 16+ HCP unbalanced, 17/18+ HCP balanced (by seat)
1 -1=negative, higher bids initiate a GF relay and often start with transfers
1 = 0+ 10+-15 HCP
2 = 6+ (occasionally 5 4) 10-15 HCP. 100% denies a 4-card Major in 1st/2nd seat.
5-card Majors, 2/1 GF 1NT = 14-16 (except 15-17 in 3rd vul and 4th) We open nearly all 11-counts, and some 10-counts May respond to 1 or 1M with a very weak hand
1M-2 could be a doubleton
1st/3rd seat NV vs V preempts can be very light, sometimes 5 cards |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| Vs. NT:
4th best from length 1st/2nd from xxx, xxxx K asks for unblock or count Vs. suits: 3rd from even, lowest from odd A from AK except in our bid and raised suit (or 5+-level) Stardard honor leads Mid-hand leads are generally attitude |
Defensive Signals
| Upside-down attitude, standard count
Reverse smith at t2 vs. NT Priority: attitude -> count -> suit preference |
