Playing matchpoints. Both you and the Opponents are vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠K8
♥AQ942
♦QT54
♣A9
You are Dealer. What is your point count and what will you open the bidding?
Show Answer
You do have choices.
You have 15 HCP.
You can choose to open the bidding 1NT. You are somewhat balanced.
You have a five card major. You can open 1♥.
Now if you were TOTALLY balanced there is that whole "should I open 1NT with a five card major?" debate. I'm not going to get into that.
But you are NOT totally balanced. You have two doubletons. It is better to open 1♥.
