1NT WITH A 5-CARD MAJOR?
Should I open 1NT with a 5-card Major?
This is the #1 question.
If bridge teachers had a dollar for every time this question is asked, they’d be wealthy people.
Let me start by saying that there is no "right" answer (which is probably why it keeps getting asked). All you can ask for is an opinion.
Well-known teachers such as Zeke Jabbour and the late Bernie Chazen, prefer to open with the major. Marty Bergen, Audrey Grant and Roberta Salob will tell you 1NT. No doubt, other famous teachers will weigh in with a strong opinion.
