I only had 2 interesting decisions I think....

This one was a failure for me



what do you open? if it's only 1♥, the bidding goes (x) 1NT (p). if it's more ♥ lho probably just overcalls 3NT.

I would preempt, I am not sure if with 3 or 4, but I would preempt for sure.

I would salso bid 5♣ with MrAce´s hand.

Hi,

Most likely, I will pass.

I have a hard req. for 1 level openings, 10HCP, and the hand has less.

Given 3rd position, a preempt looks ok, but I am not thrilled, so I will
getting in delayed, this may make it easier for them, but you never know.

With kind regards

My hard looks too good for a "I put all eggs in one basket" preempt.
I try 1♥ and 2 ♥ after 1 NT. If they find 3 NT/5 in minor, so be it.
Kind Regards

You're 3rd at green, you have a 7-4 nine-count and you want to know what to open? I recommend more red meat.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

3♥ for me, the suit quality is just too bad for 4♥ even at this vulnerability. Partner will have to find the sac, I'm not bidding again.

I think I would bid 3H without KQJ of spades. So, 4H.
