They are 3-3 in the minors, so they open 1C.\n\nResponder has a long club suit, but the goal is to play in NT or a major suit contract if possible.\n\nWith a 4-card heart suit and 6 high card points (HCP), plus a length point for the club suit, responder bids 1H.\n\nThe opponents interfere, but opener also has 4 hearts and decent points, so they raise to 2H.\n\nBidding again over interference, responder goes to 3H. The opponents, with one strong hand and one very weak hand, give up.\n\nDouble dummy shows that the opener/responder could make either 3H or 3C. The difference? 3H scores 140, while 3C scores only 110. That's why you prefer majors over minors."}
