By the way, isn't it serendipitous that 7=6=0=0 turns into a score of -7600?

that was just nigel's funny construction, it was not an actual hand.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

How many hands make 11 tricks in a major, and how many make 10 or fewer?

Did another 1000 and changed the passout parameter to have East (balancing) pass it out when holding 0-2 hearts (I tend to pass it out with shortness in the other major.)

Slam = 754
No slam = 246

Unlucky slam = 58 [partner has 3 cards in a major but slam cannot make]
No 5-level = 67

May be passed out = 44

----------------------

So the answer on this sample was : 67 make 10 or fewer, 179 make 11 (and at least 58 are unlucky), 754 make 12 or more.

East also autopasses in balancing if he has 0-9 HCP.

Who says opponents will stay quiet after our 2♣ opening? I'd rather be in a situation where I showed 1 suit already. And yes, it's easy when they intervene naturally, but what if they don't? What if they're fooling around and intervene 3M with a long minor, or don't show anything real at all? You can probably Dbl and then cuebid, but I'm not sure everything is covered.

I open 1♠ because I don't like opening extreme 2-suiters with 2♣ if I don't have to.

when i've got a freaky hand like this, i'm worried about there being too much bidding, not not enough. i think the chance of not being able to get your suits in easily from opening 2C are much higher than of 1S ending the auction.

also, partner will know your hand type. i.e. he won't be tempted to raise to 7 purely on power like he may be inclined to after a 2C opening. i'm not saying partner will majestically jump to 7nt but the auction may get cramped and partner will be placing us with more HCPs ansd may well put us with all the goodies to make up our strength.

2♣ is ridicoulous, you have 2 very goo dways on describing this hand:

open 6♠ showing 12 tricks in spades, partner will raise with the ace.

open 1♠ rebid 6♥


opening 2♣ will gather disasters such as:


2♣-3♣-pass-6♣

2♣-3♦-4♣-5♦


also when you open 2♣ you should have some confidence that the opponents ain't cold for grand slam.
