akwoo Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Yes, all players are playing Acol, so 1NT shows about 6-9 HCP. Sorry I forgot to clarify that at the start. I need to remember that most on here are not Acol players. What's strange about 1N to those of us not used to Acol is that, playing 5 card majors, almost everyone would raise 1♠ to 2♠. The spade lead is much more attractive when partner is not quite but almost guaranteed to have 5 spades - even if it might finesse partner. (After all, declarer probably does have a dummy entry to perform the finesse.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
