1D. Don't object violently to 2NT though.

1D, this hand is too suit oriented for 2N. We don't particularly need to play it and have a great hand for 6D etc.

I think a 1♦ opening will show this hand in a better way then a 2NT opening.

ok, just checking. 1♦ was, of course, passed out, and at the other table 4 spades made after a 2NT opener, which received a transfer into spades, superaccepted. Partner has a 1 count with 5 spades to the 9 and a stiff diamond.

heh, the other day in a team game I had 5 hearts to the jack and out (2524). Partner opened 1C... I did not pass.

I vote 1♦ as least of evils, but 2/1 can't handle this hand type well at all:
Precision anyone?
- 1♦ can get passed. (If not, you get burned responding on 5 to the Jack opposite a 16 count on a different hand.)
- 2NT is right on values, wrong on orientation and shape.
- 2♣ is under strength for a primary minor hand, and will lose a 4-4 spade fit.
Precision anyone?

I bet you went down in some slam though.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
