4441 is almost always a bitch

I voted for 65 cuz they are often fun. I agree with kfay that 4441 is one of my least favourite.

I'm down with 6430 to be honest. Particularly if the 6 is ♠.

I was dealt 75 twice at the club game on Monday. After the first one I thought, these are hard to bid, lucky they almost never happen. lol

5-4-3-1 and love the 15-17 range when you get to bid all 3(?) suits.

7-6. Among more common shapes, 6 spades and 421 in some order.

5431 rules 
I guess i like it because it tends to play well but also is pretty common.

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

You can't do anything much with 4-by-3s except cash your high cards.

I actually think hands where you have to arrange a ruff in a 4333 dummy to make the contract are pretty cool.

OK, I chose 4x1, because it sucks.
I want my opponents to have it often because it usually plays badly and is hard to handle on the auction.
I want our side to have it because we know it plays badly, we know it is hard to handle on the auction, and we have devised ways of handling the various ranges of it (or eliminating its possibility in other auctions).

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

I need another clue in order to understand. Do you like having exactly 13 cards?

I like the 7-6 hands too. I've had three of these that I can remember with very good results (plus amusing auctions) on all. The most recent one we had the auction 1♠-2♦-2♠-P-6♠ and LHO with three aces made the good decision not to double. Still a good result for 6♠ making in a weak pairs field though.
