2♦ opening is majors? What strength/shape? If it's weak with both majors that would seem to be a standout choice.

Playing more standard opening methods, I would pass this hand (not going to bid 2♥ with a five card spade suit on the side, not going to open one with 7 points and rebid issues).

I added the opening bid on your right to the initial post.

3♥, this is not a psych, nor any of the above... We're favorable for christ's sake!

Hi,

2D, you have both mayors, and you
dont mind if partner raises you with 4
card spade support heavily.

If you dont want to bid 2D, which I can
understand, than bid 2H. At least it
will kill the complete one and part of the
two level, and you know, they may have
trouble finding a neg. X.

The above mentioned reason and the weak
spade suit may make 2H a better bid than 2D,
because 2D will give them add. options, we
will find out after the board finished.

With kind regards
Marlowe

2D at this vul. We want to encourage partner to jump around and screw with them.

Same here. Michaels is OK too, but I think our best chance to jam them is in hearts, not in spades.

2♦, but certainly 3♥ is a good alternative
