Like the rule of 11 but when you lead 3/5.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

12 applies to 3rd lead, 10 applies to 5th lead. The rule + the lead = 15. So it's really the rule of 15 :) (jk)
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

If two tricks have been played, everybody has 11 cards left. But for me it's usually 10 or 12.

There's also the rule of 12 and 14, which states that when posting a problem to rec.games.bridge, undoubtedly one of the hands will have 12 or 14 cards.

With less than an opening hand, add the lengths of your two longest suits to your high card points. If you've more than 10 (or 12), preempt in your longest suit. ;)
