Help
I am addicted to the 554, the 644 and the 734 and not so much to the 8222
useless poll

I like to get a 4441. Of course it's awkward but the opponents have the same hand and are likely to misevaluate it or misbid it or be playing a system where 4441 hands are in the too hard basket by design.

I really like the symmetry of the 4441s... maybe someday a 2D opening to show a 6-10 4441 will be legal again - ha.
But for the poll I voted 5431. Especially when the 4 ranks above the 5, these are the bread-and-butter hands where the player with good methods really racks up the points over the average club player.

I really hate 4441 hands, and I love 5431 followed by 6430, but that's what most people have just said, wich makes me wonder why because all of them should be more or less te same O_o.
I also like 4432's the most for balanced, even more than 5422's.

5530 has treated me well enough - I like anything with a void.

If a deal is 4414, 4441, 1444, 4144 round the table and each player has AKQJ in his partner's singleton, then nobody can make more than five tricks in any contract. Does anybody know a worst "Law" violation?

Just tossing it out there, I think 4441s have a bad rap.
Its deserved.
