So, I'm putting in my sections for the tournament today, and today is very special.

My hand record names are:
"10101000" (should have got ACBL to let me start this one 10 minutes late :-) and
"10101515".

So I get my little chuckle of the week.

Because I have to have something that fits the topic folder, what do you open with this hand from my team game last week?

if not bot. orientated bidding I could open 2♣, but don't think I can easily show the 5611, so let's start with 1♥ playing KI5.
Now assuming 1♥-1♠ forcing;a 2♦ multi initially shows ♠ and asks for a preference, which will either be 3+♠ or 2+♥ and results in a straightforward auction. With a miss-fit I'm still forcing to at least a 3N/4♥ game.

A more standard 1♥, reverse, repeat does a similar job.

Fastest way to grand I can remember that wasn't knowing we had 39 points from the opening bid was AKxx x3 and partner opened G3N.
