JT8xxxx xx x AKx

RHO deals and opens 1♥, we're favorable and it's imps (MBC advanced opps).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

3S or 1S, never 2 or 4.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

3♠. But it could lead to a very bad result, given that you don't want a spade lead and you have 2 defensive tricks.

3♠ for me, no doubt. I prefer to have this suit for a preempt than Axxxxxx. I dispute that we don't want a spade lead. If they end in hearts we are on lead. If they end in notrump we do want a spade lead with a 7 card suit and two outside entries.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I'll go with 1 this time. I hate preempting with an outside AK.

Only 1 or 3 are possible IMO.
I prefer 3, but can live with 1.
Kind regards,

3 just seems so normal. What is the benefit of bidding 1? We're hoping for what? 4S is the only other reasonable alternative imo.

1 ♠

Maybe I will adopt a line where I am allowed to bid 3 Spade with these kind of hands in the future. But I still like my preempts to hold more strength in the long suit then outside.
Kind Regards

This looks a normal 3♠ overcall. 4 is too rich for me, even at these colours.

3♠, 4♠ in a Friday night rubber B) .
I don't like 1♠. We have so many tricks on our own that we'll desperately want to bid again (over 4♥ for instance). The slow route will only make life easier for the bad guys.
