| Basic 2/1 with 5 card M's (1st and 2nd) and forcing 1NT(4-12 any)
14+-17 NT(5 card M and semi-bal hands common) Usually open D's when 4-4 in minors We often open balanced 12 counts and unbalanced hands with 10-11 HCP and rarely with 8-9 HCP Weak 2 bids show decent 6 cards except undisciplined in 3rd seat NV May respond with weak hand if short in opened minor or with 3+ card support of major Fit bids by passed hand Doubles through 3S in competition usually "cards" |
| Vs. NT: 4th best from honor (T goes either way); second highest from bad 4 card suits if we can stand a shift; A asks unblock or count; K asks attitude; Q asks for unblock or count
Vs suit: 3rd from even, low from odd; except high from xxx(x) in partner's raised suit; honor leads are standard (A from AK on opening lead) After the opening lead, when breaking a new suit we lead attitude (with count msg if clear) or the higher of touching honors (except K from AK) |
| UDCA
Signaling priority on opening lead is Att,Count,SP except: C in cashout situations SP if dummy is short in led suit and forcing dummy not useful Try to signal only when needed by partner; First discard is usually upside down attitude When splitting honors we play the second highest from two, highest from a longer sequence Standard present count. |
