Having opened this 1, I can now mark time with 3. This is 100% forcing, effectively a high reverse, and will get some needed information out of partner:

Over 3N; 4 (again forcing)
Over 4; 4
Over 4 (the bid I want to hear the least); 5
Over 4; 5N

I don't see any problems with any of these continuations.

I agree with a 1 opening playing SAYC or 2/1, although Precision or other systems with limited openings make hands like this much easier.

1) I open 2 - mulit 2 which shows weak two in major, huge balanced hand, or 9+ trickss iwth a great minor suit.

2) I rebid 3 with is forcing, although I think 3NT might be a winner at imps.

what is 3D? weak i presume

i think there's a slam here, especially given no overcall of 1C (if standard system opening 1C) and a weak jump overcall... i'd bid 3S to start, just to see what happens... i like phil's 5N if pard bids 4S, but i'd really be tempted to bid 6C if he bid 4H (and hope he doesn't bid 6S unless suitable)

Well if I knew pard had two of: 9, the A or the Q, I would bid 6 over 4 too. However, note that even if he has all three of these cards, 6 isn't cold. And if he only has 1 of these, then 6 doesn't have any play at all.

I´d open 1 clearly, there is no way I can imagine this will be passed out, , so no need to preempt ourselves.

If partner bids 4 I agree with Phil, 5 looks a decent contract.
