Last post we talked about taking your Partner out of their 1NT response if you were unbalanced with a five card major and a lower ranking four card suit.
Check out this post first if you are interested:
Opening 1 of a FIVE card suit and taking Partner out of 1NT by now bidding a lower ranking FOUR card suit
Why does the suit have to be a lower ranking suit?
Here is your hand:
♠A854
♥ KQT84
♦ J8
♣K4
You decide to open the bidding 1
♥ but then Partner bids 1NT. Bidding 1NT as Responder does NOT say they have a balanced hand. It just says Responder has 6 to 10 HCP and no fit for
♥ .
BUT it also says that Responder does NOT have four ♠. They would have bid a four card ♠ suit before bidding 1NT.
Sadly you do not have a fit. So even though you are unbalanced you should just leave Partner in 1NT. This avoids you getting too high in the bidding trying to find a fit that probably does not exist.
Besides, nowadays the Opponents try not to let you play at the 1 level. Maybe one of them will come into the auction and rescue us from our misfit.
So try bidding these hands again:
