Hi
Has anyone read the book Card Pro bidding system by Ron Feldman?
Interesting book. Lots of new ideas, particularly for Slam queries. The ideas can be incorporated irrespective of your bidding system.

I read the summary on Amazon.com, but I am not interested in a 5-cd Major System.

However, how does the 4-cd minor opening bids work? I am interested in learning that design. Posted Image

What does Pro Card open with 4=3=3=3, 3=4=3=3, 4=4=3=2, and 4=4=2=3 out of the 1NT range?
Ultra ♣ Relay: see Daniel's web page: https://bridgewithda...19/07/Ultra.pdf
C3: Copious Canape Club is still my favorite system. (Ultra upgraded, PM for notes)

Santa Fe Precision ♣ published 8/19. TOP3 published 11/20. Magic experiment (Science Modernized) with Lenzo. 2020: Jan Eric Larsson's Cottontail ♣. 2020. BFUN (Bridge For the UNbalanced) 2021: Weiss Simplified ♣ (Canape & Relay). 2022: Canary ♣ Modernized, 2023-4: KOK Canape.

From the introduction (see the Read sample on the Amazon page):

Quote

Card Pro has the ability to be able to incorporate Power Bids by repurposing the Opening 1NT bid to show 12+ - 16- HCP Balanced Hands, and Opening 2♣ to show 16+ - 19- HCP Balanced Hands.

I bought the book anyway. Posted Image

Feldman has an interesting Slam Approach - 2NT rebid by either partner asks for Key Cards, then Trump Honors, then non-trump Primary Controls, etc.

I wonder if I can use this with my Canape system?

Some misprints and a few contradictions. Otherwise, very interesting distributional approach.

You must have a wonderful partner!

Are you familiar with an old system devised by Larry Weiss, Simple Club?
Strong club, Canape
Many ideas borrowed from Blue Team and Roman Club.

Yes, I have the 2nd edition pamphlet, 1989.

Also, The New Awakening, 2007 is a modernized version of The Simplified Club.

The Canary Club is also similar, 1960s.
