Second one I can accept either 3D or pass. 1D should show more cards, 2D wont do much preemptive work.

Amusingly enough I bid 3♣ at the same colors yesterday on QJ9...8th and was glad I had had the extra length when LHO turned up AKTx ...

Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. Or the ninth trumph.

Second hand I bid 3♦, but 1♦ and 2♦ also seem reasonable. The only call I don't like is Pass.

2. 2♦ unless I'm playing WJO. Then 1♦.

2) 3♦, or perhaps only 2♦. Minor on minor preempts tend to work well. 3♦ is a stretch, but what the hell.

We are all connected to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically, and to the rest of the universe atomically.
We're in the universe, and the universe is in us.

just out of curiosity, why do you quote JLOL to answer the OP?
I'd rather play gerber + flannery than play a style where this is a 2♣ overcall, on the second one I don't feel ashamed at all to bid 3♦.

basically I thought I was close enough to his answers that we could gang up on you (not that I saw your answers earlier)

On the second hand I would probably bid 3D. I understand 2D but not pass.

Certainly that particular hand immediately came to mind And 6D might get lucky.
If 2NT is split range, rather than the wide range some people use, it neither overstates the values, nor distorts my distribution. It is not perfect, because of the suit quality difference, but it is not masterminding.
