 For an example of such a "light" opening bid, holding , second seat with both vulnerable, Nunes opened 1 and alerted it as 14+ HCP or 11+ with 4+ (along with the 5+ promised by the opening bid).The 14-HCP minimum for an opening one bid is only a guideline; a hand with much "playing strength" (for example, a hand rich in aces and kings, long suits or a solid pattern of sequential cards) can be opened one of suit with fewer HCP.Here are three examples where they opened one of a suit without 14 HCP.
