Bidding went (west dealer)
(P) P- 1NT
2♣ - 2♦
2NT - 3NT

The cards are approximated.
edit: also imps if it matters

yes, this is difficult bidding problem (not lol)
1n-2♥-2♠-3♥-4♠
3♥ should be 5+♥ as with only 4 would use Stayman

edit i checked the GIB notes and it supposed to use 1N-2♦-2♥-2♠ for 5-5 INV

I don't remember the exact hands- North MIGHT have had 7 points. I'll check.

edit:
I'm bad at remembering stuff
yup, 7 points (might not matter though..)

edit: holy cow there was horrible defense, might need another thread for it.

I played this hand, don't remember how, but we ended in 4♠, but the contract cannot be made. I think west has AKJ♠ and east has K♥.

The hand has already been edited into the original post. Thanks, though.
1♦? That's a clear 1NT opener, isn't it?
Also, check out the amazing defense in the other thread

Just a personal prefference. I prefer 1♦ with 15 HCP and HCP concentrated in diamonds and clubs. I dont have much in both majors. I think 1♦ works better, than 1NT.

I have seen the GIB invite over 1nt with 55 in the majors via stayman and then 2nt. I suppose one could choose to try bidding 3 of a major over 1nt-2C-2D-2nt with a suit oriented hand and a decent 3 card major. I have not tried this method myself.
