system, but we like to bid on even with 5332 distribution. Expectably after 1

the responder have seldom a balanced hand, and then you will gain in the long
run to bid more.

bid 2
with 5332 and 3
card Clubs. With 3532 (2 Clubs) you may decide to pass.

- 1NT: Always
bid lowest 3 card minor with 5332. But if 1NT bidder has opened with pass, you
may decide to pass.
