♠ K 10 9 8 7
♥ 5
♦ 10 5 2
♣ 10 8 6 2

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♦	Pass
?

A: 1♠ - Yes, you have only 3 points, but you have a nice five-card major and a singleton.

Your hand is worth a bid. 1♠ could pre-empt your opponents, or even find a making game if your partner has 18-19 points with four Spades.
