Carding
- Leads: 4th best vs NT, 3rd/last vs suit contracts
- Later in the card play leads are in principle 3rd/last
- Standard honour leads
- Honor after an honor lead
shows present standard count (i.e. K followed by J with KQJx)
- Against NT Ace lead asks for attitude,
King – for an unblock (count if nothing to unblock)
- Against
contracts at level 5 or higher AND against 3+ level preempts, leading an Ace asks for attitude, while King asks for count
- Direct standard count, attitude and preference except UDA in suits played by partner vs NT (including on lead)
