When I was dealt this hand I thought:Seems a bit strong for 1NT with Aces and Kings but it is pre-emptive and bidding NT first protects the Kings.Reversing is an option and this gets the strength and distribution across, but lets ops in and a NT contract could be wrong sided. What's your choice, or do you have another bid?

I rank
  • 1 = Intending to rebid 1. Descriptive but agree with SimonFA that it might wrong-side and notrump contracts.
  • 1N = An underbid but protects the Ks.

You have an agreement. Why would I deviate from it with an off-shape 1NT?

Going a little further.

It seems most go for 1C-1red(assumed)-1S or 1C-1red(assumed)-2NT.

Partner is unlimited and it is possible we have a club slam. So I ask: Suppose partner has a decent hand and club length and values. What happens next?

Over 1m-1M-2NT I usually play that all three level bids are natural and forcing, so 1C-1red-2NT-3C would start us on our way. But I know others have other ideas.

Over 1C-1red-1S, if partner wants to strongly show clubs it seems he must start with 2 of the other red, planning on showing clubs later. Is that how most play it?

And just out of curiosity, suppose pard has spades: After 1C-1red-1S-2S do you bid 3S or 4S? Or maybe 3C to help partner choose? I am thinking 3C.
Added: And now that I think about it, for the Walshite the auctions 1C-1H-1S-2S and 1C-1D-1S-2S are very different. So let the Walshites take care of themselves, suppose it goes 1C-1H-1S-2S. Is the hand worth a direct 4S? Close, right?
