♠6
♥AK52
♦AK1094
♣Q62


all vul, partner opens first position 2♠ weak, pass to you

2NT is feature ask, 3♦ forcing, if you bid 2NT what do you bid over 3♣/♠/NT?

Lets assume that partner tables a beautiful hand

♠ AKTxxx
♥ xx
♦ xx
♣ xxx

You still rate to lose three clubs and a spade...

Are there really than many constructions where 4♠ has serious play?

KQJTxx xx Qxx xx and the like? Also some people open hands with 7 spades at the 2 level when vulnerable if the hand is a bit lacking in oomph, like KQTxxxx xx Jx xx. Plus isn't your beautiful hand a minimum (when vulnerable) anyway? I'll bid 2NT and bid game opposite any maximum, although I really wish I had ogust so I could bid 3NT opposite good hand bad suit.

Well I must really be insane, I still think I would bid and go to game opposite a max! Or maybe my preempts are just that sound?

I am a bidder, 2NT I suppose, then with the specified methods 3NT over partner's 3♣ and maybe 4♠ otherwise.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Playing the style I prefer I wouldn't pass.
I like "weak two" to be just weak opening and not "preempt" with any random crap.
I hate the thought of not playing game if partner tables standard hand: KQJxxx xx xx Kxx.

I keep seeing great hands on the forums where our genius two-way preempts (2red=4-7 with the next suit or 8-10 with this suit) would work out great, but they never seem to come up at the table. Opposite 8-10 I'd move and 4-7 it would be a very simple pass.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I would invite too opposite the hands I expect from my regular partner.

Opposite the hands I would expect from Csaba, I would pass and hope that the do not double.
Kind Regards

Very close Richard, partner had

♠AK108xx
♥xx
♦J8
♣xxx


4♠ should go down 2, but at the other table it was just down 1.

However the contract that makes is 3NT, stiff ♦Q onside and clubs 4-3
