| 1m-P-2H = rev flan, less than inv
1H-P-2S = 6+ spades, less than inv 1M-P-3C = 3 or 4-card limit Transfer resp. and transfer advances after 1M (X) starting with 1NT 1M-(X)-XX = 10+ When we open or overcall 1M, 2N is 4-card LIM+ |
| 5-card majors, 2/1 GF
Open most 11 counts white, esp. with major 1N is 14-16 white, 1st-3rd; 15-17 others |
| Vs. NT: 4th from an honor, 2nd from 4 small (not top of a sequence), high from 3 small;
Rusinow from 4+ (EXCEPT in dummy’s suit, partner’s suit, or as preempter leading side suit K power) Vs. Suit: 3rd/low. A from AK (EXCEPT side singleton, AK tight, 5-level (count), partner’s suit, preempt auctions at 3 or 4 level) In a bid and supported suit, lead priorities are count then attitude Leads in middle of the hand: Attitude; if suit has been played and attitude known, then SPC. K asks for count |
| UDCA and standard present count
T1 is attitude, then count, then SP If dummy’s singleton is led, SP can be given by second / fourth hand (otherwise, count) Vs. NT: Reverse smith at T2. Can be for length. Rare exceptions: (1) Replace with count in obvious count situation, (2) Replace with SP if 2 or more stoppers in dummy When leading through declarer, attitude for suit continuation (not about honor) When returning partner’s suit, original 4th best (usually T2) Vs. Suits: Trump suit preference Discards are attitude, SPC, then SP May give some 3rd/5th signals When leading honor through declarer, Q/10 = high SP and J = low SP |
