FWIW, IMO a decent "defense" to a Precision 2♣ opening includes a Herbert Negative here, even if you do not use a Herbert Negative anywhere else.

IF using that approach, I'd still bid 2♥, because of the fifth heart and well-placed stiff. It is weird that I have a well-placed stiff, as 2♣-X-P-? is unlikely to occur here. But, I'm looking at a stiff club nonetheless. It seems that partner may have a double-bid-own-suit hand, which I will fit, or a balanced monster hand, which I will fit as well.

Arguably, perhaps I should bid 2♦ in this approach, planning to raise any call or to transfer after 2NT to hearts. Interesting.

Only you Ken could find more than a sentence to say about one of the more obvious problems in forums history...

2♥. There definitely aren't any other sane alternatives.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

At least you have settled on game.

Maybe they will both be down four ...

I would like to bid 1♥, but the BBO software will not let me. It doesn't seem to like my "responsive double" idea either. Silly BBO. 2♥ I guess.

For the record, I was not one of the two "other" voters this time.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

3♥ shows a better hand.

At least another ace and you are getting close.

I would think it would show the same hand as....

1♠ X P 3♥

Maybe a hair stronger, since the Xer may not have 4 card support.

I think a hair weaker since partner doubled on the two level, not the one level.
