Yes, a 7 card suit doesn't seem to much to ask for when red.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

textbook 2C overcall

I think this is a fair overcall but I have not seen vulnerable overcalls this light in many textbooks.

I don't think there have been many books written on overcalling in the past 5 years or so. Overcalls have become more aggressive - bets place to look is the World Championship books.

I think Justin needs to write a textbook on overcalling.

You'll have to make it illegal for conservative bidders and children then. :)
Kind regards,
