All I was doing was being honest. You, however, have some serious anger issues. You may want to check on that a bit, maybe, ya think?

Opening 2♣ on weak hands is Fool's Gold. Don't do it.

To clarify: 2♣ opener in my system shows 22+ Points (Our points system is heavily modified, Aces = 4 1/2 points (usually - have to deduct at times), etc. When my father and I open 2♣ (very rarely) we got the goods.

Gotta have 2 Kings or you can't play. Don't know how to fit 1 King into that system.

You're amlost to the point where you're uncoachable. We never want to be that. I learn something new every day. We NEVER know it all. We have to accept those boundaries, or we are nothing more than animals. I believe we are MUCH smarter, and never came from apes, and we certainly have a "Higher Purpose", to which I have yet to fully determine. If you want to rationally talk numbers, Let's Go. If you want to belittle me for every complex assumption I post on a low traffic message board? You are talking Chinese and we will never see eye to eye. I'm gonna need that because I know I am destined for greatness at this Game. Just be respectful SLIGHTLY, so we can have an open and honest disagreement is all I ask. When I am here, I am absorbing all information given to me through everyone's posts, studying, weeding out theories I believe are flat out wrong with no subject for debate, moving on to some of yours and other knowledgeable posters' posts, and better myself every time.

Yes please. :)

We alert everything, it is written on our card. When asked we of course say it could be 4-4. I'm offended that you would have to ask me that. I don't need this forum. By the looks of it, it's on life support as we type. Don't bully me. That is all.

Goodie for you, I'll be content smoking you at the table, if you ever got away from your Warrior Keyboard and actually played in a real tournament.

Because I can, and I'm right.

Forum Bully here. LMFAO Too easy.

A simple overcall like you and most here suggested does not best describe your hand, nor does it put you in a good position to maximize the game+ contract you need to be in. Defending is not an option on that hand at that vulnerability. A strong Unusual 2NT best puts your team in a position to succeed, and best describes your 20 point hand. Everything should be finessed through your RHO normally. In this case it doesn't even matter. But, you know the finesses are there. Just from the opening bid. We need another hand to discuss. This one is played out.

C'mon. Don't hate it 'cause you ain't it.

I even just called my father, he wrote down the hand, and said he's open 1♠. It's legit. :D

It's just not how my father and I play. It is borderline, but you don't have 8 1/2 tricks. I like to have that.

I would have opened that hand 1♠. I don't open 2 suited hands 2 Clubs, unless I have more HCP than that. That hand is not good enough. Swap the J of Spades for the Queen and I would.
