Bids that Require Advance Preparation

1 of a Major - 2C game forcing, could be as short as 2.

Under jump shift of a major is limit raise values showing a singleton and forcing to game.

1H-3S; 1S-3NT; Show 12-15 with a singleton somewhere.

Regular Splinters now show voids.

Transfer lebensohl after interference over our 1NT opening.

Transfer advances after 1 of a Major - Double.

Over our Weak-2 - Double, we play Transfer McCabe.

Over their Weak-2, we play Roman Jumps.

We play Transfer Advances after our overcalls.

Responding to our 1 of a Minor, a jump to 2H shows both majors weak and a jump to 2S shows both majors invitational.

General Bidding Style

We play 2/1, 14+-17 1NT openers, 5-card majors, 1C opener could be as short as 2 cards, 1-D opening promises 4 cards. Inverted minors. 3rd hand openers can be very light.

We play 4th best from length; 2nd highest from 4 small. Standard honor leads. Ace from Ace-King. No changes in the middle of the hand.

Defensive Signals
