zhasbeen Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 your input appreciated. vrock I felt anxious to comment, so I haven't looked for the actual hand. However, I'm certain of the pattern. It was 15 hcp, with AK10xx and worthless doubleton. I bring it up because I don't care for NT opening in this case and made a mental note to add to my GIB "know what to expect file." One of the main reasons to open a 1N with 5-card major is to solve rebid problem, which doesn't exist with a 15 pointer. I base my decisions mostly on rebid considerations. I consider a worthless doubleton, and only 2 of other major to be slight negatives. One of the advantages of opening 1NT with 5 of major is that it is often easier to find 5-3 fit in other major than it would be otherwise. All that said, I have no great objection any one of the above. It's when there are two or 3 negatives that I start to lean in direction of opening 1 of the major. All based on my opinion only.
