I happen to believe in natural bidding.  i.e. you bid what you want
to play, on information so-far received.  Almost no conventions are
required.  I like takeout doubles and Stayman.  Weak twos and
preempts in general are also useful.  Context separates cue bids
from suits.  Once in a great while I will grudgingly use 4NT.
