15 is usually the cutoff for 2/3.

3622 call for conservatism.

A AK A + ♥9 call for aggression.

2♥ at MPs, but 3♥ in the problem given.

Of course I'd prefer if one of my ♦ was a ♣ and that would make 3♥ clear for me, but vul at IMPs I don't mind going for 3♥ here as well.

3♥. With all prime honors, this isn't even close for me. The hand is clearly worth more than 15.

Sometimes I use the guideline that a jump should be about an ace better than an opening hand. Anyone out there who would not open A8x AK96xx xx xx? I doubt it.

15 is definitely below the range for 3♥, but upgrading this is fine.

Yeah 6322 15 is almost always 2H. Agree with 3H on this hand though.

Kind regards,

umm, I consider it an upgrade to bid 3H with 15 and that shape (obviously it's different if I have 7 hearts).

Seriously people are routinely bidding 3H with 15 and 6322?

what kind of trash do I open 1♥ normally with?

This looks like a 3♥ bid to me. Borderline if I opened in second position vul vs not.

2H, but 3H is ok as well.

As long as both bids show a 6 carder, I dont think there is much
difference in the outcome.
After 3H I may feel more comfortable, if partner bids 4H at one point
in time, otherwise I may be forced to make at least one move toward
slam, ... given the amount of controls I have.
This consideration may already be enough to make 3H better than 2H.

With kind regards

If you are coming from an Acol background, than the answer is,
the cut off for a Acol is 15, i.e. you have to bid 3H with 15.
But than nearly all bids are lighter playing Acol compared to SA or 2/1.
And if I am right in my assesment, all post up to now, came from peoble,
who dont have a Acol background. I have, I learned Acol, as I started to
play.
