Open 2♣, rebid 4♥.

Bridge is easy when you bid what you got.

LOL @ 2♣.

1♥, 4♥.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

In hindsight I agree with this I think.

Open one heart and, given the rules of the game, watch what the others bid or call.

1h - 3c

i think opening 2c on this is misguided.

Agree. I don't see how opening 2♣ and jumping to 4♥ will allow partner to judge when to bid on if we can bid this with xx in one suit and a void in another.

1♥ / 3♣ / 4♥ looks OK.

A bit too good for NAMYATS if we play that.

Before anyone laughs, I open this Benji in one of my partnerships (it is useful sometimes...) otherwise 1H then 3C as others have said already.

I thought 1 ♥ then 4 ♥ is obvious, but it is obvious a minority report.

Agree on 1♥-4♥. Why jump shift to clubs? You dont have enough HCP, and besides that, only 3 clubs.......

1♥ opening is clear, as rebid I like both 4♥ and 3♣ (unless playing Gazzilli ofcourse)

4C namyats.
Otherwise a direct 4H is my bid. Ill X a 4S by the opponent to show a 5H bid with some def values.
In a bidding contest or in a forum ill open 1H.

We play 1♥ then 2NT over 1♠ shows a heart single-suiter without three spades and forcing to at least 3♥. That fits ok here.

  • IMO 4♣(SAT) = 10, 4♥ = 9, 1♥ = 8.
    Game plan:
    If opponents contest 4♥, IMO you can double to show extras.
  • If you open 1♥ then the suggested a 3♣ rebid seems reasonable.
