East opens 1 and there after the opponents are silent through out.

Suggest some auctions. I am particularly interested in auctions that start with either 1 or pass from south.

Supplementary question: Is 1 reasonable?

1 is very reasonable. X is reasonable if the pair plays equal level conversion. Pass is ok too. If N were a passed hand I'd think 1 was standout. As is, I think it is a toss up between pass and 1 (assuming not ELC, with ELC X is better I think).

After 1:

If you play fit jumps in competition, 3 by N seems right. I'm not sure how it would go after that, is 3 red a probe for 3nt despite the major fit? Would S just bid 3nt trying to avoid the possible 4-3 or club misfit? Seems like 3nt or 4 are likely ending places.

Assuming no fit jumps, then 2 followed by 3 over 2 is reasonable. I assume again despite the 4 card suit, S would accept the invite given the 13 hcp 6 loser hand, possibly again trying 3nt.

After pass:

N bids 2. They end up in 3nt through various sequences.
