My bridging
- SAYC (Standard American Yellow Card).
- 5542 (I might treat xxxxx in a major suit as four-card suit), 2♣ is strong, weak twos.
- 1Bt 16-18 hcps, stoppers in all suits (half stopper in one suit possible), 4-way transferring.
- Standard count (low-high odd, high-low even) or UDCA (if agreed).
- Odd-even discarding (if agreed).
- Takeout double in two and in three suits, Blackwood 01234, Roman Keycard Blackwood 03-14-2noQ-2withQ (if agreed), Gerber.
- I am psyching from time to time.
- I would like to signal overall structure one day, e.g., see Prism Signals.
- I fancy relay systems, see for example Kaplan-Sheinwold or Transfer-Oriented Symmetric Relay.
- I like slam zone very much. If I call a hand DIS, let it be Double Dummy Invisible Slam, a slam which is makeable against a not-so-perfect defense (leading from Axx, Kxx and such), and, therefore invisible to double dummy software.
- I am still recovering at a bridge table after 10+ years, please relax if I'm doing things the wrong way. I'm playing social bridge these days, but this may change in the future.
