    ['AK.72.KT942.AQT5', '1H', 'P 1C', 'N-S'] # S should bid 1H

From a user. Unfortunately I don't have the board id.

Here is the opposite.

This hand is weird all around.

  1. I think counting length points instead of HCPs for NT bids is part of SAYC. Therefore south is too strong for a 1NT open.
  2. A 1H overcall by W, while lucky, is wrong. Either the hearts are strong enough to count as 5 -> Michaels or overcall 1S or double (a double of a minor strongly suggests the majors).
  3. If south does open 1NT and north transfers to spades, east is probably strong enough for a non-vulnerable takeout double.
