I think "what else?" might be 2D, Michaels, if everyone at the table (and at the other table) has a sense of humor. But then, maybe this is why my partners don't allow me to play Michaels . . . .

Agree with Goodwin. Pass is normal, 2♦ might work.

Whatever shows the majors.

In my case:

2♣ = Both majors.
2♦ = Good hand with one major.
2♥/2♠ = Not so good hand with the suit.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

Pass, sometimes preempts (1NT in this case) work :(

2♦ will often switch their partscore from 1NT to 3♣, do we want it?. I prefer my chances in 1NT, but not so sure.

Pass. Planning on doubling 2 or 3♣ if given the chance.

I can't tell if any 2♦ bidders mean this as natural, or majors, or...? It fits both, or, rather, neither :lol:

I like pass. As Phil suggests you can later double a club contract which gives a very good description of the hand, and if you end up defending 1NT that's fine too.

At the table partner bid 2D and I went -1 in 2H (on a 3325). 1NT was going off, possibly 2 off.
