In a 2/1 GF context where 1NT response to 1M can include :
1. 3 card support in M , Invite.
2. 3 card support in M , "mini-raise" (4-5 points) - though this is rare, raise on some of those.
3. Invitational hands with a minor suit , but not with ♥. (1♠ - 3♥ is nat , inv).
4. 10-11 "balanced" , or with short M , but never a GF hand.
5. All other "normal" 1NT response hands...
Do you think it is a good agreement that opener can Pass 1NT with 5332 11-13 , or similar?
There are some pairs that include a 6th option .. a flat 12-14 points with 3 card support. Of course this requires that 1NT is 100% forcing. But if it is, it's nice to not have to bid 2
♣ with AQx Kxxx Kx Jxxx. Instead you bid 1NT followed by 4M.
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it then how bad a decision could it really be?
