1D open guarantees 4+ diamonds 5 card Majors 1M-(P)-2C = GF Natural or balanced (Doubleton Club only if 3 card support for Major and no convenient bid 1NT frequently could have a 5 card Major. We open most balanced 12 counts, (frequently lighter with distribution.) Overcalls wide range. Preempt wide range (2nd seat or unfavorable, more disciplined).

4th best leads. Second best from bad suits Frequently lead from 3 card suits K is the power lead (partner plays highest honor or count) Rusinow from length (4+) attitude shifts VS Suits 3rd and 5th leads. Opening lead - either the A or K vs. suits. Ace requests standard attitude unless dummy has a singleton, Kx, or KQx then partner's card is Suit Preference Opposite the King lead or ANY other opening lead, partner's card is suit preference. attitude shifts in the middle of the hand In the middle of the hand, a shift to either the A or Q request standard attitude while the shift to the K requests standard count |

Our first signaling priority (after trick one) is attitude. Suit preference in trump In NT, if Dummy wins trick 1 with Q or lower, we give count Smith echo vs NT (high encourages) unless obvious count situation. Standard present count. When splitting, we split high 10/9 0 or 2 splits middle of the hand |
