2♣-p-7NT

and that will probably show you why opening 2♣ is wrong.

Not sure what you smoke, but partner has no entry back to hand even if ♣9 scores.

I think you mean "you don't want any."
As Fluffy said, opening 2C with this is clearly wrong.

Correct no entry back to hand {as depicted}----must go back to records and adjust--he did have entry back to hand and he did lead to dummys 9 cl and it won...however 2cl opener is wrong according to all you pot smokers:) mine is pure tobacco----will report later -----regards
