Well that's different (and may also be a 2 club opener anyway) but I take "the ace of clubs to go with the hand you have" as changing a low card in the x AKQJTxxx Ax xx hand to the ace. Sorry if I misinterpreted.

No, you're right. Mea culpa. And you're right that many would open the other hand 2♣ as well.

So I guess the conclusion I'm reaching from this is that in this theoretical world where this auction would be worth thinking about, 3♠ and 4♥ can't exist to describe two different hands. With a hand much weaker, pass seems like the smallest minus most often, and a hand much stronger would either open 2♣ or be difficult to evaluate as strong vs. STRONG.
OK

stop apologizing to one another.

Jdonn what would you do over 4♠?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I'm sorry for all the apologizing. Now I bid 5♥ assuming partner didn't double first.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

12 tricks in spades and 9 in hearts. RHO had 1 queen which covered all losers in LHO hand. LHO really was strong.

favourable imps. LHO alerts 2S on BBO as "strong!" both traditionally and to the table chat. :ph34r: he really really means it's strong.

oh yes your hand

At the clubs I've played this hand would generally be opened 4♥. Why did you open 1♥?

IMO he shouldn't have needed to ask as the ODR is pretty clear :rolleyes:
