| 1m, P, 2H = Either inv min raise, or BAL-INV,
1m, P, 2S = 5+S and 4+H 8-11 (1any) 1M (Neg X): 1N thru 2 under = TRF, TRF to suit is weak raise. 1M (X): 1N thru 2 under our M TRF. One under in both weak raise We play 2C majors vs 1NT and 2D is one major |
| 5-Card Majors, 14-17 NT, 2/1 GF.
We open 11 BAL NV May respond with very weak hand. 1 level overcalls 6+ HCP. 2-level sounder. 1M, P, 2C = GF, NAT or BAL Usually open 1C with 3-3. Usually open 1D with 4-4 in minors. 1-Minor usually denies a 5-card Major. 1NT could have 5-card Major (common) or 6-card minor. New suit not forcing constructive in Comp Preempts: wide range |
| Vs Suit: 3rd from even, low odd. A from AK unless a side singleton then King and switch shows singleton. Std. honor leads vs suits. Rusinow from length vs NT
Count or Unblock when K led vs NT or when Q stopped in dummy. Vs. NT: 4th best, but often lead second high from bad 4 card suits. Usually low from xxx in partner�s suit. King asks count or unblock; Ace or Queen asks attitude; |
| Upside Down Count and Attitude Signals.
Signaling priority normally: Attitude, Count, Suit-Pref Count in partner's suit if dummy wins trick-1 vs NT. Standard suit pref with singleton in Dummy vs suits. Occasional suit-pref in trumps. Smith Echo vs NT (low encourages opening lead suit), except in obvious count situation. |
