1♦. Wayyy to many flaws for a 2nd seat red / preempt. Lots of defense, marginal suit.

Opening 5♦ just offers up an 800 for the opponents.

A r/w 5♦ call here to me looks like:

void, x, AQJTxxxx, KQxx

1♦. This hand is playable in ♣ as well, and can defend rather well for a preempt.

Would you also accept this hand for an unfav. 5♦? (I held that one once)

I would, but 9 and 10 baggers are so infrequent.

1♦. When I pick up 10♦ Gerben, I will check to see how many of those are really ♥s. Then I think I'll bid 5♦.

If you open 1D, the bidding goes:

1D (1H) P (1S)
2C (2S) P (4S)
?

What would you do now? Pass or compete?

Same thing. Open 1♦, and then bid 2♣. Clearly a two-suiter. :blink: :P LOL

Surprised nobody went for 4♦. Definitely prefer 4♦ over 5♦. I'd still open 1♦ though-only at this vul however.
