Dealer on your right opens 2♥ (weak)


Try for some +100s? Or what?

2N at MPs, but pass looks tasty at IMPs. I'll gamble +100 / +200 (when pard can't reopen) against a possible +400 (in 3N that makes) in the hopes that pard can reopen and that we can nail them for a number.

2NT looks normal, though pass may be winning.

:blink: Surely it should be the other way around - pass for MPs and 2NT for IMPs?

The chances for a couple of hundred after passing are pretty good...

No. Pass is rather swingy at MPs. Do I want to risk the field spot of 3N when pard can't reopen to extract a penalty?

If he can't reopen then I doubt he can raise to 3N

Depends a bit on partner's style, opposite myself it is a clear pass.

I'd pass at both MPs and IMPs. I'm thinking that, if P reopens with a X, we'll likely be +500. If P reopens with anything else, we'll likely be at least +400. If P can't reopen, we'll likely be +100 instead of going minus. :)

Pass
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
