I just bid 2♥. My hand's not that great. Playing precision... tough. I guess I'll bid 3♥.

How confident can I be that p has four hearts? If it's certain I would probably bid 3 in Precision. In standard, 2 is enough anyway.

2♥ in Precision--♦QJx is rather worse than worthless on this bidding. You certainly don't want to encourage partner to bid 4♥ with support and an extra queen. You won't do it, of course, but it might even be the winning action to leave the double in.

3♥ in precision. This is a very nice hand (only five losers) and it's easy to make 4♥ opposite two aces and out (for example). Bidding only 2♥ might not be a real suit, much less such a nice hand as this one.

In standard methods where 1♠ has a higher minimum and maximum, it is very close. I'd lean towards 2♥.

2♥, and no. Aceless, tenless and overendowed with diamond honours,
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

2♥, but you don't really need to change that much to get me to bid more.

2 is more than plenty. Wasted diamonds and spade KQ is hitting x or xx probably.

Pentto? Cincto? :), this quacky aceless collection is not worh much, the only extra is the shortness in clubs where partner mae a take out double.

Some LTC addicts might bid 3♥. But aceless and with no fillers in spades, makes 2♥ the correct bid.
Kind regards,

2♥, unless my 1M opening is limited to 14... Which it is in one partnership (LOL).

Partner has ♠Ax ♥T98x ♦Ax ♣Jxxxx. At the table, opener rebid 2♥ and responder passed, missing a good game. It was suggested that responder should have bid 2♠, as there is a significant chance that opener has only three hearts on this auction.
