A powerhouse
THIS MONTH …
THIS MONTH YOU ARE THE DEALER AS NORTH AND YOU HOLD A POWERHOUSE. I WISH YOU INTERESTING HANDS LIKE THIS ONE ALL YEAR ROUND:
♠ 5
♥ A63
♦ AQ83
♣ AKQ73
What is your opening bid?
You have 19HCP and a good five-card suit, which gives you 20HL. Since your distribution forbids you to open 2NT (4 points), you open at the one-level, in your longer minor: 1♣ (10 points). East overcalls 1♠, and after two Passes, the bidding goes back to you.
