vulnerable imps, you deal yourself

what's your plan? would you open 2♣ or 1♦ or 2NT?

If you open 2♣, what's your rebid over

-2♦ catchall GF (can't have a good 6 card suit or 8-10 bal)
-2♠=8-10 bal
?

If you open 1♦, what's your rebid over 1M?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

2♣ by the evil volcano :P.

Over 2♦ I'll bid 2NT. Over 2♠ I'll bid 2NT. Although I'm wondering if 3♦ is better...

Edit: Misread... Over 2♠ I'll bid 3♦.

2c, yet I open 2c more often than most on forums. This seems to not be a two suited hand so I hope the forum will not forbid 2c.

Now I will chance a 3d rebid. Granted partner may think I have long d and a 3 loser hand but will try and live with that.

Same as mike - open 2C and rebid 3D.

If I opened 1D, i would use my pet gadget of a 2NT gf response here - showing various hand types.

2C then diamonds, barely. If I opened 1D I would bid 2H over 1S and 3C over 1H.

dilema -dilema sympathies---------------- first question i say to my self is "Who has the spade suit" opps or pard? thkg out loud is there a slam on? is the contract 5 diamonds,if opponents get busy.
what about opening 3n/t-----Or do we walk the dog with opening 1 diamond,if partner does not respond to 1d, one is well out of it.

1d lets the opps in---2cl and with stepped responses 3n/t is on,and if partner presses on slam whatever may fail-------so final decision because of my spade holding would be "3 n/t opening" taking into account we are red

I tried 2♣, part had something like xxxx Axx Jxxx Kx but didn't reply 2♠ because she doesn't like that response. So I figured 2NT would be a better description and 3NT was the final contract.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
