playing vanilla 2/1, 15-17NT what sort of hand does opener show on these uncontested auctions:
1m - 1M
4M
1m - 1M
3M
does it matter if responder is a passed hand?
also, what do opener and responder show on this auction:
1m - (1M) - 1N - (p)
2N

I think I am grossly misunderstanding something. *yelp*

1m - 1M
4M
19-21 "support points (HCP+ points added for distributional features)", unsuited to splinter, so typically 5422 or some 5431 with a stiff A/K declining to splinter. Or 19 hcp 4333/4432, though some might only bid 3M with some of the worse ones of those depending on style.
1m - 1M
3M
16-18 support points. Either 18 bal, or some sort of unbalanced hand that doesn't have a mini-splinter available.
no.
I would assume ~8-10 for responder, ~16 schmoints unbal for opener.
