In my own system I would open the actual hand with 2♥, but not showing weak 2 but both majors and BELOW opening strength.


Gak. If I open this hand Ekren, which I presume you are referring to, my partner jumps across the table and beats me with a stick. Its wrong shapewise (wanna play 2S with xxx xx opposite?) and strength wise at this vulnerability.

I know im a junior, but i'll open Ekren with K10xx K10xx x xxxx 1st NV. Surely assumed fit methods work best when you dont lie to partner about the shape and strength of your hand? Given your later statement-

Hate to see partner's disappointment when laying down a dummy which doesn't agree with his expevtations.


I argue this is exactly what you're doing opening this Ekren.
