Before I post the spoiler, I want Justin's and Han's answers.

I didn't reply to this because I went back and fourth. My only real comment is that xxxx is significantly worse for bidding 1N than xxx. With xxx I would routinely bid 1N.

Even with xxxx I lean towards 1N, but the aces and prime nature of the hand really seems to argue for a suit contract. So I lean towards 2S, but then I think about how bad this is if partner does have Hxx of hearts...

Overall I think it's 1N but I would not care which one my partner chose.

Are you frightened by how close our answers are??? LOL

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

One of the areas where (at least BBF) has changed (evolved) is the willingness to bid 1N without a stopper in these cases without stopper.

If so, BBF has been rather slow to adopt the idea. I have a book from 1980 which recommends a 1NT rebid on such hands.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
