Zelandakh Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Not sure if you intend this as a genuine question or as an exercise for N/B readers. The long answer is that it depends on the auction. The short answer is usually Hand A, for several reasons - majors are more important than minors; it is generally easier to bid hands where the longest suit is higher ranking than the secondary suit; and we are less likely to be outbid.

Cyberyeti Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Also in 5M systems, I open 1♠ showing 5 on the first, 1♣ showing 2 or 3 on the second so bidding to the right spot is easier with the first in the face of preemption.

billw55 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Obviously with no other information, the hand with the majors is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
