Bidding Challenges / Re: How would OCP bid this 5-5 Major with 18 HCP's (Maybe 16HCP's)

Hi Jimmy,
My preference would go with the following sequence:
1 -1 [GF balanced 8+ HCP]
1NT[Low Beta asking for Aces and Kings]-2 [0-2]
2 [Iota]
If I get a negative response I can do a new suit Iota in at a lower level than if I had originally Iota'ed in first. But back to the bidding
2 - 3 [showing HH/Hxx agreeing trumps]
4 [Relay Beta - had to step over 3NT for Beta since trumps agreed with a minimum positive]- 4 [one control]
it must be a Minor suit King - not of any help since it is known we are missing two Minor suit Aces
4 signoff
