Another Opening Dilema

Here is your hand:
♠AT862
♥QJ543
♦A6
♣A

You are Dealer. You have 15 HCP (High Card Points) so you get to open the bidding. What will you open?

Show Answer

In the novice game last Tuesday some players opened the bidding 1♥.

If you have a five card major you can open the bidding 1 of your major.

With two five card majors you need to open the bidding your HIGHEST RANKING major.

So open this hand 1♠.
