I mean I could easily pass, but I'm not expecting partner to bid more than 2S with: QJxx KJx AKxxx x am I> so that is an argument for bidding game. On the other hand, I could easily see partner having Jxxx Kxx KQx QJx.


If one of us were to open that "hand," it would be a 1♣ opening in third seat (a comforable 10-12 1NT in first or second seat).

Given that partner has denied as much as a 10 count, I don't see why you would want to open that hand in 3rd seat.

I thought LTC stands for Loser Trick Count since it's only used by losers. :P

The long ♣s can be benificial or a nightmare. My initial thought was to bid 3♠, but Justin got me thinking... Thanks dude, now I no longer know what to do. :P

Whereas to me it looks like a 1NT opener. ;)

I think opener should bid 3♠ with QJxx KJx AKxxx x. Even the Losing Trick Count would get that one right.Jxxx Kxx KQx QJx looks like a 1♣ opening to me.

Yes! Of course, gnasher and I would play that double promises 4 spades, which makes this an easier 3S bid.
