Did you miss my comment up thread "Having some fun , online , with a good p. It’s a good time to test the 1nt waters." ?
I'm experimenting with 1nt openings, txfer walsh and other things, having some fun while learning.

It's not legal in ACBL, you can open 1N with a stiff A,K or Q, not a J . This was not an ACBL game. At the club, I doubt anyone would care.


If this was aimed at me, that's why I said "I guess you can do it if you're just playing for fun . . "

It would be legal in FIGB, even with a 2 instead of J.
The interesting (and not very logical) limitation is that it has to be in range to include a singleton. Which might be interpreted to mean that upgrading this hand to 1D as worth 18 would be illegal if you have the agreement to open it 1NT in range 15-17.

I don’t really want to hear about the laws but I guess I asked for it. :)
