5 hearts, 6 diamonds

[JLOGIC]

I would often open 1H (well often for me), maybe like 40% of the time. 5 hearts and 6 diamonds is the only time I'd do this. However, I'd also be willing to open 1D and reverse lighter than most people.

Any 6 card suit should be rebiddable regardless the suit quality.

For example: Ax AKJx x xxxxxx, after 1C and 1S, 2C is the only bid.

Noticed this by gnasher in the second thread Bradley linked:

 

That's exactly the situation that came up in the GIB thread that prompted this poll.

 

GIB considers the 6-card minor worth opening, but not worth bidding twice. And since it wasn't strong enough to reverse, it ended up rebidding 1NT as a last resort.

History Fail. This is not actually true and was mostly an invention of late 18th century historians.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_Flat_Earth

 

That's interesting. I'll try and have a look at it.

 

Meanwhile change my comment to: "Before Galileo most people believed the Sun orbited the Earth." :)

 

(Which is in fact true if you set the Earth as your reference frame lol.)

The Earth hardly revolves around anything (other than its own axis). It is going on a geodesic determined by all stars etc in the Universe.

before Colombus most people believed the Earth was flat.

And since Colombus, most people believe he discovered America.
