If you would rather read a book, take a look at the Acol Bidding page for some suggestions.

Acol Opening - Unbalanced Hand

Bid you longest suit.

With suits of equal length:

5 card or longer suits bid the highest first

4 card suits bid the lowest first.

If you are using the Gerber convention for asking for aces and you have a biddable club suit, bid clubs first (this is a bit of a fudge in the program but does solve a lot of real problems when using Gerber in the real world).
