Bids that Require Advance Preparation

2D opening is a weak 2 bid in a single major. The point range is 4 - 10 depending on vulerability. If next hand passes, all major suits bid at any level through 3S are p/c The bid of 4C says bid your suit as a transfer. The bid of 4D says bid your suit. 2D pass 3D is natural and forcing.
Over a major suit overcall x = penalty. Over a minor suit overcall or NT = X = penalty
Over pass or a 2-level overcall 2NT = show hand
3C = any minimum over this 3D says bid your suit as a transfer and 3H/3S are pass or correct. 3D/3H = heart/spades med strength. 3S/3N = hearts/spades maximum.
2D - p - 2S(pass or correct)= 2NT = weak with H, 3C = med with H, 3D = Max H

Opening 2H shows hearts and m 4 - 10 pts. 2NT asks for description. 4C/4D =Penalty double apply.

Opening 2S shows 5+/5+ with S and a minor. 2NT asks for minor.

General Bidding Style

Standard 2 over 1 style with 14+ - 17 NT. We open all 12 point hands and 10 or 11 points with shape. We play 5 card majors but in 3/4 seat it may only be 4. With 4-4 in minors we tend to open 1D We play Walsh style so 1C p 1D p 1N could contain one or both majors. We play 2 way checkback regardless of minor opened. All invitational auctions start with 2c over NT rebid. Jumps are GF. 1m p 2H is invitational 2N. 1m - p - 2S = limit raise in the minor
1m 3m and 1M - 3M is mixed. Numerous transfer sequences including over 1M x and 1D 3C and (1x) overcall P

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

Vs Suits, Standard honor card leads
A from AK until 4S level then K from AK.
Leads against NT are Rusinow.
We lead 3/5 against suits and 4th or 2nd against NT.
After opening leads, we tend to lead count through declarer and dummy. We lead ace from ak through 4 level vs suits Unless Declarer has shown 9+ cards in 2 suits in which case it’s count
