A couple of reasons I would bid 1NT:

  • There are 5 quacks and 1 Ace. Marty's stuff on hand evaluation would say that you should downgrade this - it is probably worth only about 11 points
  • Losers: This is a 7 loser hand. LTC says that is enough to invite, not force to game, opposite an opening hand.

Which version of LTC are you thinking of? Mine says GF from 7 losers.

You are correct. I was remembering incorrectly. But, upon rereading what I have recently read about LTC, I was reminded that it is not to be used until you have a fit. Since not fit has been found, my second point should be disregarded.

Contradicting with my own previous post, KnR says this hand worths 10.55

I think we 2♣ bidders should admit that we are way off on this one (at least i do) :lol:

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
