Of course, in ACBL play, that solid 9-bagger 2 club opening is legal, described at http://cdn.acbl.org/...-Not-Points.pdf .


I wonder about a 10 bagger, something like

KQJ10xxxxxx

which only requires 1 trick from partner to make game.

The General Convention Chart requires only that a 2♣ opening be "strong". What does "strong" mean? According to ACBL, it means whatever the player making the bid thinks it means. :rolleyes:
