Help
1C is 15+ without 5 card major.
I consider adding the 12-14 balance and 12-14 club suit.
my question is only from the point of view of oppnents interference, which system will suffer more the one with the added 12-14 part or the one without ?
im not sure, the one without the extra part will be much better handeling the interference since i already know i got 15+ hcp, on the other hand the one with the 12-14 opponents will probebly interfear less.

Hi Flame,
When 1♣ is only strong (15+) then all overcalls are aimed for destruction, meaning any hands (good or bad) will come into bidding provided some distribution is available. On the other hand when 1♣ contains weak option ( 12-14 balanced or similar) then the weak option statistically comes more frequent than the strong one and the overcalls must be normal - constructive.
That's one of the reasons many world top pairs to use 1♣ opening with mixed weak and strong options.
