Playing Overcall Structure, this hand isn't a problem for me, but I know the rest of you get tired of hearing about my product placement.
I would probably double and see if I can dodge a 4♥ call. Over anything else I am very well placed.
wtf.... ???

I'd rather play golf than bridge. Except when I don't

2♣. I've never considered hands like this a problem - maybe something is wrong with me?
Probably not...the hand again for reference.
♠J752
♥Q
♦A9
♣AKQJ76
How strong would it have to be for it to be a problem? If the Q were an A? How about the jack?
If I had J752 A A9 AKQJ76 I'd double. That's enough for double followed by x♣.
Kind regards,
Harald

I'm in the 2♣ boat in standard; otherwise a power double or a 2 suited overcall if frisky.

Double - absolutely automatic for me.
When I consider the hands I pick up and therefore have to overcall on, and then I look at this thing of beauty, doubling and trying for game is the way.
But there is a huge majority for a simple overcall - really interesting and another of my stack of preconceptins listed for consideration.
