What vulnerability? Vulnerability ALWAYS matters if you're talking about opening a preempt.

But I hate opening a preempt with A-K outside anyway. I flip a coin between 1H-then-4H, if that shows distribution-but-not-high-cards in our system, and pass. I'm sure many partnerships play styles that allow a preempt here but I dont.

2♥ is ridiculous. 3♥, on the other hand, is a serious candidate.

I think this is what I really meant, I just forgot about the possibility of being V/Nv.

3♥ or 4♥, depending on things like partnership, vulnerability, form of scoring. I think 1♥ and 2♥ are both pretty bad.

I don't think this suit quality is good enough for any level of preemption on second position. I am contemplating pass as a real alternative.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

4♥, although it could be very wrong. 2nd choice 1, 3rd choice 3.

2♥ is just weird even with 40 on.

I will pass.

1. bad suit quality plus good side suit controls.
2. If opps have spade suit, we are unlikely to preempt them successfully.

dont preempt too much
