boring hand

What is a boring hand doing in Interesting Bridge Hands? :)

 

As Cyberyeti said, it depends upon many system variations, there is no single "5 card majors". To start with, 1 might promise 3,4 or even 5 cards. Most could bid a natural 2NT response, although that would be timid here IMO. Some play 1 - 2 as GF, others 1 - 2, others both of these or neither.

In our system it would probably go 2 if uncontested, 2NT if E interferes 1 though a 2 diamond raise is also available.

South opens 1 and you give us the South hand, this doesn't help. If you mean N opens 1 I respond 2 inv + inverted. If there's a 1 overcall I can (unusually, most people don't do this) still use the invert or bid 2N natural. 2 would be available to most people as a diamond raise.

thank you !

If we don't do mistake we don't learn.

In the ACBL you will likely see many people bid 2NT with this hand. They either don't have enough points (GF) or enough diamonds (5) for a diamond raise, and this hand is balanced. I'm not saying that's good, but it would happen.

 

1-2NT INV NF is incredibly ugly, but it seems to be becoming standard.

 

I doubt it would change with a 1 overcall, but many (including me) would shift to "support with support in competition", 4-cards and no ruffing value ignored.

 

If you play "unbalanced diamond" or at least "1 clubs or balanced", that tips the scales in favour of a diamond raise; at least you don't have 12-flat opposite 12-flat pretending to play in diamonds.
