3C= 5 card suit any quality
3D= 6 card suit and should never have opend
3H= 6 card suit and "normal" wk 2
3S= 6 card suit and maybe should have opened 1 instead
3NT= AKQxxx

This simple Modified Ogust was recommended by Meckstroth at a lecture I attended. After 3C rebid, 3D asks for strength, with 3H=min & 3S=max.

He recommended opening weak 2's with 5 or any 6, with voids, with 2nd 4-card majors and broad point range. He said it was important to keep opps from using their expert tools as much as possible.

As long as no one is preventing him from using his tools, of course...

Meckstroth's hypocracy is incredible

I play weak 2's exactly as pbleighton described, and play meckwell over non-vulnerable preempts and oghust over vulnerable ones (where we won't have a 5-card suit).

I might play a multi-muiderberg system when the regulators allow it at local US tournaments, but in the meantime, I don't want to wait for perfect hands for my preempts.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
