These are the answers:
Norberto Bocchi 4. I would have preferred to open 1NT. So now I say 4. Â If I could say 4, I can not find a better bid. | ||
Thomas Bessis   4. I would have preferred to open 1NT, but now that I had open 1 I think the better bid is 4. It seems encouraging, and my points are so focused on just two suits that I do not worry to show 9+ cards between the two. | ||
Dennis Bilde   It depends of who my opponents are. I say 4 against solid opponents. Pass or 3NT against a young opponent, who has a particularly aggressive style. | ||
Antonio Sementa  4. I cant see another possible bid. | ||
Andrea Buratti  4. With only five diamonds, I hope my partner has at least 4 clubs | ||
Fabio Lo Presti  4. Not a very pretty voice, it seems to show a sixth cards suit, but I cant see another option. |
