1/1-2 shows balanced 11-12 HCP by UPH.
1/1-2 is a mixed raise by UPH/PH. 1/1-3 is a mixed raise by UPH. 1-2 is a invite by UPH. FSJ by PH except 1/1-2. (1NT)-2 is a one-suited major. |
Light opening: Open all balanced 11 when we are not vulnerable, optional when we are vulnerable. Open shapely 10 (9 not vulnerable).
14+-17 NT, could be shaded in 1st and 3rd seat when we are not vulnerable (13 with a 6-card minor). Sometimes would open a 3-card suit in 3rd seat when we are not vulnerable for lead-directing purpose. Often 5-card preempt at favorable vulnerability especially in 1st seat. 2M preempt is either 6 or good 5-5 (Polish 2M) when we are vulnerable. Respond very light when we are not vulnerable. |
3/5 vs suit, 2/4, Rusinow from 4+ except in partner's suit, dummy's suit, and preemptor's side suit, Reverse Smith vs NT.
Mostly attitude in the middle of hand. A from AK except from AK doubleton, ready to switch to a side singleton, or at the 5-level or higher (ask for count). Standard suit preference and present count. Suit preference when dummy has a singleton. |
UDCA.
Attitude when we lead, count when declarer leads. Count is usually accurate early in the hand, suspect later in the hand. Suit preference when the attitude/count is clear. Reverse Smith except in a hold-up situation when dummy has a long suit with no clear side entry (A or K). Sometimes would lead small from doubleton for deceptive purpose especially when we can overruff dummy. |
