It cannot be right we must pass this hand because it's too strong for 2♠, can it?

2♠ for me.

2♠ for me too. And of course if I thought it was too strong I would bid 2♥, not pass.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

- What is weak/strong...I thought this hand is intermediate, so I bid 2♥
- I play that 2♦ shows 5+♦ and 4♥...Not sure if I would bid 2♦ (lying 1 ♥) or 2♥.

Hi,

given the meaning of 2S and the actual vulnerability,
I would go with 2H, ugly, but I have to live wit the
agreements I have made.

With kind regards

2♥

Then, after the session, I'd tell my partner that weak/strong is a little old fashioned and all the modern types play it as any strength (at this vul). Then that I prefer specific 2-suiters ... :)

Too much for a weak Michaels at this vul, so 2H it must be.

For every conventional upside, there is a downside.

With only ♦ we bid 3♦ intermediate.
(We think that we have more often 2 suits to bid then 1 and therefor we play lot of 2 suited overcalls)

white/red my weak Michaels are weaker then this and my strong stronger.
So I bid 2 ♥. With adverse vul. this is an easy 2 ♠.
Kind Regards
