Help
with 5h & 6d, since you are too weak to open 1D and reverse to 2H, you open and rebid diam! that is a joke, right? and then after partner bids 3N, NOW you come in with 4H!!! But you were too weak to bid 2H over the 1S response.
This is all a massive joke.... sort of like reverse precision which opens all weak hands 1C so that the strong hands can open 1D, 1H, or 1S.
65 hands opening what's next?

I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

the only option to opening 1H and rebidding 2D is to open 1D and jump-reverse if the partnership is playing such a sequence as showing a minimum 5-6 (per Karen Walker's series of articles in acbl bulletin a while ago). However, most people I know play the jump-reverse as an invitational splinter, so.............specialized conventions or treatments are nice when they come up.
If you pass initially, the bidding might be too high to feel comfortable about backing in with some 2-suited bid, especially after the opps have had a chance to share information. I'm becoming more inclined to try to fire the first shot. And the hand has more than 26 zars if one wishes to evaluate it that way. (or about 6 losers) The aces (as opposed to Ks & Qs) also make me more inclined to open this hand.
