1club or 1spade? The relative merits of what to open with a black five-five have been well discussed elsewhere, but I quite like the 1club-with-strong-or-weak, 1spade-with-medium approach. At the table North opened 1spade and had another decision to make over his partner's 2heart.

What would you have recommended?
