I bid 2D without having an agreement. I wanted to do something positive without going past 2H. 2D might cause partner to misevaluate, but on the upside, it might cause the opponents to misdefend. Both happened.
Imaginative bid that deserved to succeed. A slight downside is that, without prior agreement, it is misdescriptive and may cause partner to misevaluate. On a bad day, playing in the wrong strain at the wrong level may be less well rewarded.

I don't like 2S over 2C on partner's hand for two reasons. First it may get you too high, but secondly it's not forcing, and if you have a minimum overcall with 2-5 in the majors, you are going to pass 2S and you are in a stupid contract.


I don't understand this post. I suspect that means I'm either misreading your post or you misread the auction.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

First of all - and I keep repeating myself - you must agree with partner on the significance of the 2bid.
During many, many years: 2 was GF.
Nowadays, a lot of partnerships will play it, as just a good raise, ... or an unassuming cue-bid.



What was it here ?



LOL. By the way, did you know that each time you use a Heart symbol, a baby kitten dies?

You've killed a lot of kitties with your signature. :(
