IMPs, Red vs White

You play 2/1 and have agreed to preempt "normally."

If this gets to 20-0, people can stop voting :).

Edit: GONG, 31-1. Let this thread die please :).

could we revoke the voting rights for all users starting with H except hrothgar, Halo, Hanoi5 and a few others I forgot? :)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I want to be able to pre-empt on this. However, forced to pre-empt normally (by which I presume involves 3 weak 2s) I dare not, since the possibility of a missed spade game is too great.

For the record, I voted pass, somebody else voted for 2H. My previous post was just because I didn't want to disappoint Phil.

A clear 2♥ bid, but of course I play 2♥ as mini-Flannery :).

I can't see opening 2♥ as a preempt in first or second seat in any case, especially since partner has request us to bid "normally".

I opened 2♠ on a 6=5 hand last weekend and got into trouble. But that wasn't red on white with a crappy minimum.

5=6 is going to be much harder to show later.
