(6) SMITH SIGNAL:
While defending: Low – High play in first suit played by declarer shows interest in the lead.
(7) ROMAN DISCARDS:
While discarding: Odd card is ENC, even card is DISC.
When discarding an even card, a low even card shows interest in the lowest ranking suit while a high even card shows interest in the highest ranking suit (just like LAVINTHAL signals).
(8) LAVINTHAL SIGNALS:
See ROMAN DISCARDS above (7). Applies only in even card discards.
(9) SUPPORT DOUBLE:
After partner bids ♥/♠ promising 4 cards or more and an opponent overcalls, D shows 3 card support.
(10) MAXIMUM OVERCALL DOUBLE:
Doubling after an initial overcall shows a maximum of HCP and support for the unbid suits.
(11) SNAPDRAGON DOUBLE:
When LHO opens the bidding, partner overcalls, RHO bids a 3rd suit at the first level then:
D = 5+ cards in the 4th suit plus 2 card support in partner’s overcall (2+ card support if partner’s overcall is in ♦).
(12) ROSENKRANZ DOUBLE:
When LHO opens the bidding, partner overcalls, RHO bids a 3rd suit at the second level then:
D = support in partner’s overcall but no high honor in the suit.
Supporting partner’s suit promises at least one high honor.
(13) TWO WAY CHECK BACK STAYMAN:
After responder bids a M and opener rebids 1NT then:
2♣ = Invitational check back Stayman (except when 3NT is rebid when it invites slam).
2♦ = FG check back Stayman.

After 1♣/♦ – 1♥ then: 1NT = 11 – 14 HCP balanced and opener may have a 4 card ♠ suit.
This way 1♣/♦ - 1♥ - 1♠ shows an unbalanced hand with 5 – 4 in the bid suits or 4 – 4 – 1 – 4 distribution.
(15) JACOBY:
1♥/♠ – 2NT = 4+ ♥/♠ support FG (or 15+ HCP with 3+ ♥/♠ support).
Responses: New suit at the 3rd level = Singleton, new suit at the 4th level = Void.
Rebidding 3♥/♠ = No singleton or void, rebidding 4♥/♠ = No singleton or void and an absolute minimum.
3NT = 15 – 17 HCP balanced.
(16) DRURY FIT:
After a third seat opening of 1♥/♠ then 2♣ = 10 – 11 HCP and 3♥/♠ support.
Responses by opener: 2♦ = 11 – 12 HCP (a normal minimum opening). New suit by responder shows values in the suit.

After 1♠ - 1NT - 3♣ - 3♦: 3♥ = 4 ♥, 3♠ = 6+ ♠, 3NT = 4♣ (No KOKISH with 5♠ and 4♦)
(18) PUPPET STAYMAN:
