Zelandakh Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Assuming these hands are within the opening 1NT range, 1NT. Playing a weak NT, 1♣ for both. Hand type is more important than honour concentration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I open whatever opening shows a 16HCP balanced hand in my system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 IMO, this is a good thread for the N/B Forum. Newer, inexperienced players overthink these things, when they could just look and the size and shape of their hand, make the bid, and get on with life.
