Reserved distributions
- (4333): JDH8’s curse, originally found by Richard Pavlicek
- 3325: Italian nightmare
The first two seats do not open these balanced minimum (11–12). The third seat always does. The fourth seat chooses between 1♦ and pass ad libitum.
| Seat | 11–12, (4333) or 3325 |
|---|---|
| 1st | P |
| 2nd | P |
| 3rd | 1♦ |
| 4th | 1♦ or P |
Choice of suit openings
The most descriptive 1NT takes priority over all suit openings.
- 5+♠♥, 5+♦♣: Always open the major suit
- Other 5+ 4+: Open the longer eligible suit (MAX 2♣ must contain 6+♣)
- Between 4-card suits:
- ♦ > ♥ > ♠ for the first two seats
- ♥ > ♠ > ♦ for the last two seats
The precedence of 4=♦ depends on the seat. If the seat never opens 1♦ for (4333), 4=♦ come before 4=♠♥.
