Defensive Signals

UDCA
Standard remainder count
Against NT: reverse smith and first discard Lavinthal

On partner's lead we prioritize attitude. Suit preference given when partner's lead implies tricks set up in dummy. We generally give count only on switches, declarer's lead or when the situation is obvious.

Unusually high cards ask for special defense rather than showing touching honors.
