The case for 4 is surely much stronger in third seat. 1 feels right in 4th.

I open the higher with equal length in the long suits, which is 1 in this case.

I believe that's the way most players do.

I Bid 1 hoping to be able to make a forcing 2 bid the second round. If 2 is not forcing, then I'll make a forcing 3 bid the second round. After partner's second rebid, I'll follow up with 4 D on the third round.

If the two red suits were reversed ( KJ10xxx AKQ10xx), I'd prefer to bid 1 , reverse into 2 and rebid the third round.

If you choose to open at the 1 level I believe the clearest sequence is:
1 (some non raise)
3 (non preference)
4
If partner can raise hearts or even preference then you can go from there but this should send the message that you can play 4 with your own suit opposite shortness. It should clearly show that slam is possible in diamonds as you could have just bid 4 straight away without the jump shift had you wanted to play there (or even just opened it). I'm not necessarily saying that opening 1 is right, just that IF you choose to, you need to make it clear that you don't want to play 5.

It's all pretty academic because I can't think of a sensible field where West would pass on that hand in third seat.


I wouldn't go so far to say that makes the problem "academic"... Give East a small spade and West a small heart and pass as West is pretty reasonable (imo). I don't know if you'd call a standard club session a 'sensible' field but I'm sure I could find you a bus-load of passers there.

I'd open 1 reversing 2, hope partner bid 3 over 2. Else i will re-rebid 3 hoping for 4 or re-rebid 4 in case of 3.

Yes, we all know we should open the higher suit with equal lengths. and we all know engineering a reverse (thus distorting the relative suit lengths) is an overall losing strategy.

However, when the top suit is solid and I want to focus on support/controls in the lower one, I will admit to considering an "operation" upon CHO in hopes of finding what I need. Not sure I would actually do it, but it would cross my mind.

I don't know if MinorKid was resulting or not; but his post has merit here.
