This is chapter 17 in the story of my attempt to determine if it is better to open 1
♥ or 1NT with 15 to 17 HCP and a five card
♥ suit.
The journey started with this post:
Later On
Here is the seventeenth hand I generated:
Hand 17
|
North♠A4♥AQ873♦Q63 ♣QJ4 |
|
West♠Q6 ♥KT9♦JT954 ♣A75 |
|
East♠KJ98♥J65♦AK72 ♣93 |
|
South♠T7532♥42♦8 ♣KT862 |
|
Dealer is North and no one is vulnerable.
Double Dummy:
3♣ can make by N/S
1♥ can make by N/S
1♠ can make by N/S
3♦ can make by W
2♦ can make by E
1NT can make by E/W
Analysis
If North opens up 1♥ I think everyone will just "Pass". South has no values and the Opponents just don't have a suit good enough to bid!
What happens if North opens 1NT?
South will transfer to ♠ and "Pass". Unfortunately they are a level too high. You make 7 tricks only in either major.
So I am going to give 1♥ the win here. You stay LOW in the bidding.
