General Bidding Style
We do not open as light as many pairs do. We might pass a 4-3-3-3 12 count. We do routinely open really light in 3rd seat. We will occasionally upgrade a 14 point hand to 1NT. We will respond light on occasion, depending on shape and vulnerability. |
Opening Leads AND Leads in the Middle of the Hand
| We play UDCA, but standard CA on A leads at trick one. Also on K leads at trick one at the five level and higher. |
Defensive Signals
| UDCA
4th best Attitude is first Signal as is deemed appropriate Reverse Smith |
