1♦. Too scared to bid 1NT vulnerable.

Why am I bidding? Won't partner reopen if there is game or even a good partial for us?
2xQ in doubletons and length in the opened suit and flat (not exciting) 2245. I much prefer defense surprise if they get frisky.

Pass, won't overcall on a 4-card vulnerable. Second choice 1♦, no 3rd choice.

1NT, but fully understands the reluctance.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

Agree with this, but it's time to make an exception: 1♦

1♦.

Too weak for 1NT and 1♦ is fairly safe even vul and has several ways to gain. Length in RHO's suit is not a drawback on this sequence.
