All red, MP's. After 2 passes RHO opens 1♣ and you hold:

♠AKT6
♥T85
♦862
♣A95

Do you enter the bidding? Which is better, X or 1♠?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

If you held a gun to my head I would bid 1♠. But why on earth do I want to get involved?

No, I didn't; so it was probably right to do so.

:P Pass looks best to me. If I have to bid, it would be 1♠. Non-vul against weak opps if I needed a board, I might do it.

Jdeegan why do you always lead off with the tongue smiley? I used to think it was amusing, but its wearing on me like Lurpoa's valentines.

Anyway, bidding with this hand is rather bizarre. If I were NV at MPs, I can understand 1♠, but passing is obvious.

Hi,

for me it is either Pass or 1S,so if I enter, it would be 1S.

I have done both.

With kind regards

I think I pass this. Tempted by 1S, but I can resist the temptation when vulnerable.
