| This Bidding System is aggressive. We routinely open with 11 HCP. We want to be in game with a combined point count of 24 (HCP for NT, HCP+DP for suits). We don’t want add to the aggressiveness and overbid unless we are intentionally sacrificing. So let the Bidding System do its work, count your HCP and DP, estimate the tricks likely, and bid accordingly. Push a little if you have some feature of your hand that is not exposed by the bidding. | This Bidding System is aggressive. We routinely open with 11 HCP.
