Partner is short in clubs so I don't think a lot of my hand, I pass.

Partner should always reopen with 5-5 in the majors, this does not show extras. Does anybody here really think that partner should pass with AQxxx AJxxx x xx?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Hi,

partner should always reopen with shortage in their suit,
and if he does not want to hear pass after a reopen X, he
will bid a suit, i.e. 2H does not even show 55.

I will pass.

With kind regards
Marlowe
