Unusual situation

I think RHO is another weak player who thinks AKQJxxxxx is a 2♣ opener.

 

I can see no alternative to 5♣, maybe 6♣ to put more pressure on the joker.

So anybody who had played for his country in an open team event and contributed to this thread bids 5 ♣.

 

So maybe, just maybe this obvious choice has some merrits even for lesser players like you and me....

Never mind that, I'm going to bid 2♥ :)

But you didn't play for YOUR country Gerben lol, you did it for another one B)

Agree that 3 or 4♣ doesn't bother RHO much. Pass is not my style so I'll just bid 5♣.

 

Ofc, this can go -500 against a failing 4♥, but that's life.
