Defensive Signals

Attitude: UDCA

Trick One Defense - On trick one we play obvious shift vs suit contracts; Discouraging means we have a decent holding in our agreed upon obvious shift suit

Priority in general is attitude, then count, then current count (UD) with count violations to be suit preference (std)

May give suit preference in the trump suit (std)
