mycroft - Thanks for posting those notes!

I hadn't thought about the Michaels/Unusual 2NT - type situation but it makes perfect sense. I'm definitely going to steal that one. :)

I don't really understand this argument. These are carding agreements that need to be disclosed on our convention cards, at least in ACBL games. https://web2.acbl.or...m/CW_Part14.pdf


My suggestion is that any pair that leads a bare A frequently enough for partner to notice agree to lead K from AK always. You could start making a list an agreeing on exceptions, et c but you're better off using your brain cells on more frequent problems.

Some of my partnerships have gone to a style of leading bare A's more often, and we've adopted the agreement that A on opening lead asks partner to signal suit preference, and K asks for attitude assuming AK was lead unless the A shows up in dummy or your hand
