What would be your rebidding plan with the hand?
If you did not hold the A Clubs would it affect your decision and opening bid?

5D, planning to bid 6D, if 5H / 5S comes
around, which at worst will go for 800.
Without the Ace, I still open 5D, but would
pass through out after that.
With kind regards
Marlowe

5D at all vulnerabilites
No, even without CA, I would open 5D at = vul and 4D vul vs not. Naturally in no case would I consider bidding 6 after having opened 4.

5♦ as others, probably because I don't have the 4♦ opening avaible as nat. If I didn't had ♣A I might open just 3, or pass, not sure.

Would open 5D at any vulnerability, with or without the ace.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

5 ♦
If the opps bid 5 ♠ or 5 ♥ I will probably sacrifice at 6 ♦ unless partner doubles them.

Pass but opening 1D is very close and is my second choice.
I have defense against 6H.
Without the ace of clubs=5D opening.

I think I would open 5♦ and I would consider bidding 6 in my next round.
Of course this kind of polls are not very useful since with freak hands anything may work great or badly.

I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

An attack of insanity just hit.
Many people open 3NT to show a pre-emptive to 4 of a minor (for the purpose, usually, of namyats).
When was the last time you held a minor suit freak worthy of a 4NT opener (or whatever meaning you ascribe to the bid)?
Idea: What about making a 4NT opener show a 5-level pre-empt in Cs or Ds without good honor structure like the sample hand (5C= pass or correct), and 5 of minor show the suit with good honor structure? This might help responder judge whether or not to bid further on a hand with good controls but minimal trump support.
OK, just took my meds. Am feeling much better now, thank you.
