Playing SAYC, it goes Pass on your right and being Vul vs NV you hold:

♠KT9642
♥97
♦7
♣A632

Do you open with a weak-2 in spades or pass?

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

What hanp said.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

If you don't open this 2♠ here you might as well not play weak 2 bids. The spade spots and shape make it automatic.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Suppose that I believed that in second seat at adverse a weak two should have a one-loser suit. Are you saying that I'd be better off playing 2♠ as something completely different, and if so what?
... 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

I would open this 2♠ always... Probably even without the 9. I have weak 2 bids on the card for a reason, and I'm gonna use them!

I'm saying your belief about second seat weak 2 bids means your style of weak 2 bids is very bad, and I have no interest in deciding what you should play instead.

I'm opening, not too happily, but to attack the heart/diamond partials.
