- I played 6C once on a hand that at the other table went three passes to
- my RHO. What's your point? That was a world championship, by the way.

- >2) The ACBL Club series tells to open 1H with Kx, AQJTx, QTx, KJx.
-
- Are you having conceptual difficulty or a language one? The club series
- tells you to open this hand 1H. If it had 1 more jack, you would open
- it 1 NT. What's your point?

-
- In the real world, Steve Altus doesn't play the "club series" system.
- If he did he would open this hand 1H. What's your point?
