| Our runouts over 1NT doubled are ostensibly natural, but if we bid 2C and run after double, we show the suit we run to and a higher suit. |
| Five card Majors, Weak (12-14) NT, 2m/1M forcing to game except when responder rebids his suit once or opener rebids his suit twice.
We open most balanced hands with 12 HCP. Our minor suit openings tend to be sound. Our major suit openers can be light. Our overcalls tend to be sound. Our doubles of suit partscores tend to be for takeout, whether or not partner has bid. We have several exceptions. |
| Against suits we lead 3rd best from even, lowest from odd. Against NT we lead 4th best from suits we like. |
| We use standard attitude signals.
Our signaling priority is Attitude, then Count, then Suit Preference. We try, though, to give the signal that will be most useful to partner. We sometimes give suit preference in the trump suit. We use the obvious shift principle at trick one. Count Echo vs NT: Third hand’s signal in the first suit declarer plays shows present count in the suit of the opening lead, other things being equal. |
