* Do you have a balanced hand with 15–17 HCP? Next time remember to open 1NT to avoid rebid problems. 1NT openings lend themselves to the most precise and well-understood bidding sequences. | * Do you have a balanced hand with 15–17 HCP?

− | * There are some weird distributions where you don't have a good rebid. For example, 4441 distributions often pose problems. If you have 1 spade, 4 hearts, 4 diamonds, and 4 clubs with 15 to 16 HCP, you open 1♦, and partner responds 1♠, none of the above options applies. You couldn't have opened 1NT with the singleton, a 1NT rebid at this point would be an underbid, 2♣ would mislead partner into thinking you have 5 diamonds, and 2♥ would show reverse-worthy strength. What do you do? Use your judgement and pick the least bad option, all things considered | + | * There are some weird distributions where you don't have a good rebid.
