Phil Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 1N. I would be surprised if anything else is mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 This seems like a huge WTP 1nt. We have 16 in the middle of our range, we have a semi-balanced shape without a 5 card major, our 2 doubletons aren't weak. It is quite possible that we'd rather the lead come around to partner in 3nt, but that is such a minor concern compared to describing our hand properly.

P_Marlowe Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 1D - but 1NT is ok as well. In the end this is more a style thing, than anything else.If you play "strong" reverses, than the hand is min for a reverse,and this would be a reason to open 1NT. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 The only reason not to open 1NT is if this hand is not in your range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm ok with 1NT or 1♦ followed by a reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurpoa Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm ok with 1NT or 1♦ followed by a reverse. ♥ I find this hand really to weak for a reverse... but I guess it depends on partnership methods.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 More than half my values are in my short suits. I strongly prefer 1NT. Opening 1♦ has many rebidding problems imo: we don't have a good suit to rebid 2♦, we are quite weak and have poor honour location for a light reverse, and 1NT is quite an underbid.

Lobowolf Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Pretty easy 1NT for me. I don't have the world's highest standards for a reverse, but this ain't one. And if not 2♥, I'm out of possible rebids after 1♦-1♠, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Here is another voice to speak for those of us who open 1♦. Though few in number, we are hearty in spirit and strong in conviction. If partner responds 1♠, my plan is to rebid 2♥. To suggest a hand for partner in support of 1♦, I offer ♠Axxx ♥x ♦K10xx ♣Kxxx. To justify their superior numbers, I humbly challenge the crowd of 1NT openers to produce at least three hands for partner where the 1NT opening bid will win. GO! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO!When my partner shows a GF 4=1=4=4, I'll definitely bid 4♦ and slam bidding can start. I'm not saying we'll reach slam, but the chances exist. On the other hand, after opening 1♦ and reversing, partner won't like his singleton ♥ and might just signoff in 3NT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the stated reasons. 1N = 10, 1♦ = 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
