(1NT)-p-(2♦)-? all white imps

would you bid differently with different vulnerabilities?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Yeah, I guess... I want a ♠ lead and I don't think they can kill me too badly...

I'm a wimp. Ask again when it goes 2♥-P-P back to me.

I agree, and I'd add that they might not both know how badly they can kill me when they can kill me, or they might not actually be able to get to the double in time.

Plus, we might even have a sacrifice or a making game available.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

2♠ for me when White. I'd wimp out Red vs White, and flip a coin Red vs Red

Pass

...but I would certainly bid white at MPs, where the right lead for one fewer overtrick can swing the board. I'd also balance 2♠ here over 2♥pp.

At favorable or same Vul, I bid it. I think it a little more if red against white but unless my opponents are great I would bid it anyway.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Pass for me. Not keen to make a 2 level overcall with a 5332 10 count.

W/R I would bid 2♠, because the chances of a paying save are greater, and because the opponents are unlikely to stop off to double 2♠.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

NO - but would bid 2 spades if passed around to me. Might be worth a gamble at MP depending on how the day is going.

yes at white, too many good things can happen.
I think at red I would bid it too, but this is very borderline, I guess
KQTxx,xx,xxx,Axx would be sufficent....
Kind Regards
