1♥ (PASS) 2♥ (PASS)

Do you bid or try for game?

Any different at IMPs?

Opposite a normal (5-9ish) 2♥, I'd bid 3♥, to play. There's very little chance that I'll be allowed to play 2♥, and a considerable risk of their competing to four of a minor if I delay my 3♥ bid.

Opposite a constructive 2♥ I'd bid 2♠.
... 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

Its a normal 2♥.

There are no forcing 1NTs here.

Probably wise if you play with the posters who think passing a forcing NT is sometimes a good idea (earlier string)

3♥ is enough.

The field will bid more so I'm a bit worried about going against them but game is sufficiently unlikely that I'm willing to do it here.
