Apart from bidding and the play of hands.......... No one states discards in their profiles?????????? must be NORMAL? in sayc/2/1 precision/acol or any other system.
we have limited space on our profiles agree, one can instigate a cc but i find most partners pick up, main/relaxed do not even look at profiles let alone ones cc.
this is a very important factor for results in defence.
Apart from standard leads Hi/LOW or LOW/High----one should have discards as odd/even or even/odd to differentiate-----------Think on this factor fellow BBO players

apols subject is "DISCARDS"

[jjbrr]

ask them.

You ask them, and they answer "All standard carding", or similar. The problem is, especially on-line, that people don't know what standard is. A very large portion of the population think it is quite standard and not worth mentioning that their first discard in a suit asks pard to lead that suit ---whether the discard is high, low or in-between.

I play fairly often in individuals and have seen o/e or lavinthal probably in about half the profiles.

If there is nothing on defensive signals, they are 25% to be standard and 75% non-existant. Pray for the former and expect the latter.
