Playing Matchpoints. The Opponents are vulnerable and you are not vulnerable.

How about 5♦?
This a hand with less than opening values with a good NINE card suit.
With a six card suit you open at the 2 level. With a 7 card suit you open at the 3 level. With an eight card suit you open at the 4 level.
The problem with bidding 3♦ is that it doesn't mess up the Opponents that much. They will get to their slam now.
Some people even got to play 5♦. These fortunate people went down 3 but the Opponents can make 7 of either major or even 7NT.
