Vs. Preempts
When the declarer is a preemptor, we know that they do not have a good hand. Specifically, we know that they do not have a lot of honors outside their long suit. Here we look at how we use this situation to help us make better opening leads.

Here we look at how this information helps shape our opening lead choices.
