I want to tell partner I have a minimum hand and offer to play 1nt

I'm masterminding, still

2♣, no need to distort my hand (I play weak NT so 1N not an option)

I agree with your last sentence. Do you find that masterminding works for you and partner? If the answer is ‘yes’ you need to find a new partner

2♣ seems automatic, even if the fact this was posted suggests we may be in trouble.

You are never in trouble....I value your comments.

fwiw this is from a Michael Rosenberg bidding discussion, not with me, about a year ago...

The actual debate comes later in the bidding, turns into another discussion about this hand, which in turn becomes a third discussion with ED Davis and others starting here...

All about this every day hand...no fancy conventions...just judgement after judgement above my pay scale.

Again, if you're one of those pairs who can bid 1NT on a singleton in partner's suit - this seems like a fine hand to do it.

I'm not one of those, I hate when partner has to play the submisfit I "promised" was okay, so I bid 2♣ like a reasonable boy.

It's an interesting question (one for the ages) what I do with the minors reversed - open 1♦ on the 4-card and rebid 2♣? Open 1♣ and rebid 2♣ on five? Open 1♣ and rebid 1NT and let partner play the 5-1 heart fit?

But this way around I have a simple rebid that shows my hand; why wouldn't I do it?

Of course with T-walsh, unbalanced ♦, weak nt, everything has changed.

Playing strong nt, when I open 1♦ and rebid 2♣ partner can expect my minors to be reversed.
Within these methods, 1♦ 1♥ is an awkward auction.
