2 = Weak 2 in either major, 4-9
2 = 5-6-card + 5-6-card other, 5-10 2 = 5-6-card + 5-6-card minor, 5-10 1m-2 = 5(+)-card + 4(+)-card , 5-10 1-2 = Artificial balanced LR 1m-2 = Artificial LR (if 1 then unbalanced) 1-2 = 6(+)-card , less than invitational 1M-3 = Artificial LR 1N-2 = usually transfer, includes some hands without 3-3 = Puppet to 3, various hands 3-3 = Natural, NF (but opener can bid) Two-way doubles: 1) If we redouble our opening, then opener's double of advancer's non-jump bid is 4-card penalty or singleton. 2) If responder doubles their 2-suited overcall, then opener's double of a non-jump bid in a suit known to be held by LHO is 4-card penalty or singleton. 3) (2M-3M)P, X We play (one level over their bid) = Majors, = 1 major, M = M + m in the following auctions: 1) They open 1N 2) They overcall 1N 3) They open 3m 4) They bid 1N-3N (or 2N-3N) 5) They bid 1m-3N (or 1m-2N) 6) They bid 1m-3m (or Weak (or Precision) 2m-3m) 7) They open 3N showing 1 minor After overcall of our 1M opening, we play: 2N = GF raise Cue = LR Jump to 3M-1 = Mixed Transfers after they double our 1M opening or overcall. Double of WNT creates force thru 2 |
1N = 15-17, quite often upgrade 14
5-card M. 4-card possible in 3rd/4th, but rare. Can open light with shape Can open very light in 3rd - usually for the lead Tend to respond very light |
4th from honors. Usually second highest from 3(+) small. Tends to be same after trick one
Honor leads vs. suits. Standard, A from AK except: 1) Doubleton 2) Partner's suit 3) 5-level or higher 4) Declarer opened at 3-level or 4-level in 1st or 2nd seat 5) Alarm clock, usually shifting to stiff Honor leads vs. NT K asks count or unblock |
UDCA EXCEPT versus suit contract on A lead and dummy has 3 or 4-card headed by the 10 or worse.
Priority is attitude on our lead, count on declarer's lead. Standard SP if we can't win any more tricks in suit led. Standard remainder count Smith echo vs NT at trick 2 only) (unless holding is 'known', and not if count is needed. Attempt to combine signals - attitude with SP and count with SP First discard Lavinthal, except when hand already obvious |
