1N is the best opening bid in all of Bridge. It does a great job of describing the "big picture" of our hand. With some hands that have difficult rebid problems we will choose to make a flawed 1N opener because it is the best description of our hand that we can come up with. This week we examine some of these difficult bidding hands that are best solved by opening 1N.
