Isn't the idea behind Rule of 15 that you are worried that if you open ops can outbid you in a part score auction as they are likely to have Spades and you need to be able to go to a higher level to win the auction?

Here we have the boss suit, and 2nd boss, so we are unlikely to be pushed in to the 3 level.

With one of my regular partners I pass as he opens and raises on garbage with another more conservative partner I try 1S followed by 2H over 1NT.

Your side can score if the hand it's played but it's easy to go overboard.

CHO doesn't need to be pushed to invite game B-)

Rule of 14/15 is a reasonable method for rejecting some opening hands, but this doesn't really look like an opening hand.

with 5-4 majors this is not even a question at MPs


Why does it matter that it's MP? Are you scared the opps will bid game sometimes? It is the same decision at either form of scoring unless you think one side has more chance of bidding game than the other.

Clear 1♠. Passing would be a crime.
Points are 20-20, we have major suit(s).


Eventho the hand fails rule-of-15, it just passes rule-of-18 ( hcp + ♠ + ♥ ) .
