Game forcing? Forcing one round or Inv.?

Strongly invitational (as opposed to a plain or a mild invite). Responder can Pass the invite but with an ace he should go on even if the hand overall is nothing more than a minimum response. Any bid responder makes below game after the jump, is forcing to game.

Dicklont the hand you posted is too strong for 3, it would be correct without Q.

Totally disagree. It's not too strong, and would be a 2 rebid or 1NT opener without the queen of diamonds.

Are you saying you would bid 1D-1x-2D with both xx Kxx AJTxxx Kx and Ax Kxx AJTxxx Kx (barring an excentric 1N opening)?

I didn't say anything about the first hand, and you conveniently threw the ten of diamonds into both hands, and if I would open 1NT then what I would do if I opened 1 doesn't particularly matter. So no, I'm not saying that.

 

Are you saying you think Ax Kxx AQJxxx Kx is too good for 1-1x-3?

No this looks like a typical maximum to me, and Ax Kxx AJTxxx Kx like a typical minimum. I feel uncomfortable opening 1N with 6-card minors, and I feel very uncomfortable having a range where you can take away and ace and make the same 1D 1x 2D auction up to my rebid.

(I assume you would also open xx Kxx AJTxxx Kx with 1D?)

The hand I was talking about was Ax Kxx AJxxxx Kx. You keep throwing the ten of diamonds in, it makes a big difference!

 

I would open the hand you gave that's an ace lighter. Ax Kxx AJTxxx Kx I would open 1NT, largely to avoid the rebid problem since it seems in between 2 and 3. But if you force 1 on me then I rebid 2.

Both of your examples are easy 1NT openers imo, however if a 1NT opening is barred, I would rebid 2.
