Bids that Require Advance Preparation

2D Opening shows a Weak 2 in a major

2H Opening shows a minimum opening hand with four hearts and a longer minor

2S Opening is an unsound 3 of a minor preempt


In General -

Non-forcing balanced club with transfers. 1C is 1+ may include any 5332 and 4=4=4=1.

1D, 1H and 1S are always at least five and will never be 5332 in 1st and 2nd.

1C - 2D by us is a weak jump shift in a major (less than an invite).

1H - 1S is a forcing NT.

After 1D - 1M, we play transfer rebids by opener.


General Bidding Style

1N opening is 14-16 in 1st, 2nd and 3rd NV, otherwise 15-17.

Opening bid style is aggressive but not crazy. More conservative vulnerable.

We rarely pass a 1C opening.

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

Opening honor leads are Rusinow. Against NT, (except A,K or Q) an honor lead is Rusinow from 4 or more and standard otherwise. Against NT, King is power lead and Ace asks attitude. Against suits, Ace asks suit preference.

Jack denies a higher honor after T1.

Length leads:

Suits: 3rd from even, low from odd

NT: 2nd from bad four card suits or longer and 4th best versus NT.

Middle game is generally attitude but will revert to opening lead style if count is needed.

Defensive Signals

UDCA

Reverse Smith vs NT. Where attitude is known, then suit preference applies.
