IMO 3♠ = 10, 2♠ = 9, 1♠ = 6.

2♠

This hand will not enjoy 3♠ passed out, at mps, red

No public votes, I think 2♠ is clear vulnerable, AJx trumps and ♥Qx are both low ODR, 7222 is also low ODR.

Yeah, sorry. I realised that just after voting, and then assumed it would be too uncontroversial to be worth re-setting up. Ah those halcyon days. I was so young and naive.

I notice that you did not specify seating position. I open 3♠ in 1st and 3rd position and pass in 2nd and 4th.

2S. To correct Nigel's scores 2S = 10, 3S = 0, pass = 5

It's 2sp for me. I don't have huge problem with opening 3 as oppose to Ron but i wld have serious problem if my pd passed this hand.

2S is a perfect description. Really don't like anything else.

I think seating position matters as well, but the 7222 shape suggests 2S.

Agree to 2♠. Seems quite clear. 3♠ might work, but on a bad day it can go horribly wrong.. remember opps have less options when the preempt is higher, so a double will be left in more frequently.

Like mikeh, at MPs I'm much more worried about 3♠ PPP -2.
