Bids that Require Advance Preparation

2/1
Transfer Responses to a 2+ 1C
1D is 4+ if unbal, 5+ otherwise

Major suit raises:
3D is a limit raise with 4, sometimes 3 unbal
Other jump shift responses are natural invitational
1H-2N is a game forcing raise (mod Jacoby)
1H-3H and 1S-3S are constructive 4 card raises
1H-3S and 1S-3N are unspecified splinters
Higher are voids (1H-3N = S void)

General Bidding Style

We open aggressively nonvul and fairly standard Vul
Transfers over a short club -- we tend not to pass 1C if we can do something
When nonvul, weak 2s can be 5 cards, 3 level preempts are rather light

Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand

3/low vs suits, Att against NT
Rusinow from 4+ against NT with K as power
Rusinow against suits
Coded 9s and 10s mid hand
Attitude mid hand - if need count for cashing out, then it is 3/5th

Defensive Signals

UDCA - primary signal is attitude
We try to figure out based on situation whether count or suit preference will be most useful when attitude is known.
First discard is generally upside down attitude but my have suit preference overtones in a suit where attitude is known.
Standard remainder count when giving count after first round.
Trump play suit preference if meaningful.
Reverse smith vs NT at trick 2 only
