Also I wish the D5 or S5 was an 8 then you would have 1 of every card.

I don't care to preempt with this one--too much chance that some random club holding in partner's hand can promote my ♣Q to a second defensive trick. Trading the ♣T for a small spade could tip my decision the other way--it's that close IMO, in which case I'd try 3♠. No way will I open a seven carder with a weak two at these colors.

I would never open this 2♠, I like 1♠ best, then 3 and then 4.

I play 2♠ as 8-11 with a 6-bagger. I'd not allow an extra spade at any colours when I'm in the upper range.

So I open 1♠.
Kind regards,

wow apparently there's only a .01% chance of that happening (one of each card)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Wow really that much?

(52/52)*(48/51)*(44/50)*(40/49)*(36/48)*(32/47)*(28/46)*(24/45)*(20/44)*(16/43)*(12/42)*(8/41)*(4/40) = .00010568

I guess so. Surprised it's not smaller!
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I have only noticed it twice but have probably had it much more if it is .01%
