What to open?


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
