The hand has 14 HCP and doesn't have sup****t either Major. I would
just open 1D and rebid 2D over 1H. I may angle for NT later but a 6-
card suit shouldn't be concealed for too long. The advantage in
opening or rebidding 1NT is that the Kings are protected on the
opening lead. After 1D-1H, does 1NT show extras as in KS or just any
11-19 HCP hand unsuitable for a Notrump opening or just a misfit?
