So it was Xmas party night at the club last night. Wine, food and bridge. The first of these might have had some effect on the last. How would you rate these opening actions which I saw perpetrated?
1.
1NT is ostensibly 12-14

2.

3.


All three met with perhaps undeserved success.

I didn't know that you'd attended the Scottish Open trials, where wine was not needed to perpetrate such actions.

I would rate that as lol x3. But probably everyone had a good time anyway.

I don't think any are that bad lol. Opening 1NT on hands like that works well with gib, and you have the right singleton since you can pass 2♦.

i think 2 is from another planet but I understand 3H on 3, and lol'd and thought "cute" at 1N on 1. Of the three of them, I like 1 the best. Like jdonn said you can pass 2D, and also you probably have chances if partner forgot to open and punts 3N.
