General Bidding Style

Usually 5 card Majors (1N Resp Semi-F, 5-11). 1NT 15-17 (often with 5 card major, rarely 5422 or SING), 2/1 Forcing to game (2C suspect length), many 1-3under are natural invites.
3rd hand may be light, esp at Fav Vul.
Open most bal hands with 12 HCP and some unbal hands with 11 HCP.

Occasional unusual actions especially by Zia.

Preempts: may be light 1st and 3rd or at FV
