I agree with Whereagles - 2S.

*hog agrees with me?*
*shock*
*faint*

:rolleyes:

Something must be wrong, :rolleyes:

I guess something must be wrong. My pd says this is a clear 3D bid - better than a minimum overcall and scattered honours.

Surprised no-one has mentioned the vulnerability here.

If I'm at red, I'll bid 2S now, since I have nothing over and above what I promised. At favourable or love all I'll bid 2H, showing something there, and if partner blasts 4H after this I'll correct to 4S.

At game all, it depends what mood I'm in. Probably bid a slow 2S ;)

I Agree with Nuno and Ron: 2.

Of course it depends on agreemets: do you overcall 1 with AKxxx and nothing else? then 2 is wrong, but when you normally do it stronger 2 is just right.

Cant undetstand the 2S call unless you have some strange agrement that this is forcing.
You have more then an ace above minimum, and im a solid overcaller.
