from a quick google it seems "R" is king so x seems clear.

to be honest imo this is a bit of a wtp, 1n is just a punt (of course it could work) and pass is just totally out of the question. gotta be DOUBLE

Auto double. This is one of those little trinkets of goodness you pick up from reading these forums for 10 years.

Close decision. I rank
  • Double = T/O. Off-shape but OK in the modern game.
  • Pass = NAT. Intending to protect later, in some auctions, given the chance.
  • 2♣ = NAT. 5+ cards. A fair description.
  • 1N = BAL. When modern players bid notrump, they exhibit a frightening disregard for stops :)

Yup, this is one way to wrong side the NT

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Double, but I'm wary of showing extras later in the bidding. A Moysian fit in any suit with no shortness will not play well.

I have sympathy for 2♣ on the off chance that I'm not on lead, because it is a chunky suit. I'd never consider 1 NT because (as already mentioned), it wrong sides the NT contract.

Double.

Your high cards make up for a lack of shortness in the opponent's suit. You got at least 3 cards in every other suit the prime requirement for a T/O double. So, you are not lying about your holdings.

Just double. Yes it would be good to have 4 hearts. It would also be good to be 6 feet tall, young , and handsome. You can't have everything.
