Great canape hand.

Otherwise, 1♠ in first or second seat. Whim of the moment in third. 2♠ in fourth.

Pass not an option to me, regardless of colours/seats.

Whether it is 1 or 2 depends on agreements. Personally I like systems that accomodate shapely 1 level openers - in which case this seems too strong for 2 to me - but you choose your own poison.

My second seat preempts are fairly sound so 2♠ for me.

I might try 1♠ if not vulnerable.

I don't dream of passing - maybe that would be a nightmare.

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.

Tkx all. As i suspected, it is a hand wich bid is in the limit among 1 or 2, given the vulnerability.
