Long minor suits is one case when I'm OK with passing with a super distributional hand (to bid UNT on some level, 4 or even 5). I am not sure what 3♦ then 5♣ or 2♦ then 6♣ or something like this shows. Maybe 2♦ then 5♣ really does show 7-6 (or 6-6?), but at the moment I don't understand why.


You can always preempt diamonds and rebid 4N to show more disparate suit lengths.

I usually play 4NT as minors. Lacking that 3D + 5C seems more or less equivalent :)

4N is perfect with this hand, if its minors and not specific aces. If 4N is specific Aces, I would hope that we play 3N as the minors.

While Han's strategy of opening 2 or 3♦ and bidding 5♣ may express our suit lengths well, I'd rather not give the opponents the 2 or 3 levels to figure out whats going on.
