On those occasions it is Well to see what can be done about co opting the enemy said. Note North a opening bid. The phrase Quot better minor Quot is actually a Misnomer Quot longer Quot minor is the Norm. When the Choice boils Down to Between two three card minors it is almost always Correct to open one club. We could imagine making an exception if our diamonds were a q x and clubs nil against. Four Spades West attacked with the King of diamonds. Declarer could count a sure heart loser and the club situation was not promising. The two level Overall almost surely marked West for the Ace of clubs which meant that unless West held the Queen As Well there were three possible club losers if Declarer broached that suit. Since the enemy were unlikely to open clubs of their own volition Declarer found a simple line to enlist their cooperation. Declarer won the opening Lead in Dummy and immediately ruffed a Diamond. Two round of Trumps were drawn and another Diamond ruffed to eliminate that suit. Then Declarer cashed the Ace and King of hearts before exiting with a heart. It made no difference which defender won the heart. If it was West that defender Wouldhave to Lead a club up to the King or yield a Ruff stuff. If it were East Declarer could guarantee a club trick by simply playing Low on the forced club shift. Making four Odd. Q.

On the contrary $ bid of two Spades now would tend to be regressive showing a six card suit and a weaker hand. Correct is two no Trump to show a balanced hand of 11-12 Points and invite game.
