I think that 2NT is insane, I didn't consider it at all. But we are non-vul with 5-5 shape and only 3 HCP outside of our long suits. It's gotta be right to bid 1H, no?


We also have only 3HCP inside our long suits.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Yep. But, here on these fora they have explained to me how the bid should have the values for the level forced. Something I never knew before, and haven't adopted after.


I guess you haven't as far as I'm concerned it is a preemptive call with a higher risk/reward variance. It is best used, as are most preemptive calls, when you are NV vs V.

If you look at it that way you'll always find reasons not to bid Andy.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
