Zelandakh Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Put me down with the 1♣->1NT crowd, with 1♣->2♣ being my second choice. Unlike some of the other 1♣ openers I am not fundamentally against opening 1♦ with 4♦-5♣ but in natural it is (imho) better to save that for hands where the club suit is weaker than this and the diamond suit stronger.

rhm Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I bet that very few know that 2-2=5-4, where the numbers left of the equal sign denote majors and right of it minors, is the worst possible distribution for game chances. It is worse than holding 3-3=4-3. In other words opening a borderline hand with the above distribution risks partner getting you too high. So much for the rule of 20.
