Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠6
♥K9
♦AQJ86
♣AKQJ7
Partner is Dealer and says "Pass". Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) also says "Pass". What is your call?
Show Answer
1♦.
With two five card suits always bid the higher ranking suit first.
Even though you have 20 HCP (High Card Points) you cannot open the bidding 2NT. You are way too unbalanced.
You also don't want to make a reverse on this hand. Reverses show length in the first suit. (So if you open 1♣ and reverse into 2♦ you show longer ♣ than ♦.)
