Happy to have it Especially happy to hear about the hack too ("+slow+" set in the Table description) This allows some control to be applied for players who need a bit more time. Of course all players should be advised about this option... and perhaps too that they can click on "Be right back" to forestall getting "booted". However those two options should add some time not prevent a person being booted. After all time is a constraint and not unlike other rules is a part of the game.

For myself: Hand 1 I immediately bid 2♠; and hand two I immediately bid 2♥ In both cases you need partner to know you are weak with support. Partner should respect that fact and bid accordingly. I would pass hand one if opps. were Vul. and I Not Vul. 4♣ balances it slightly in favour of Pass. If LHO now bids 2♥ passed out I would bid 2♠ Or if LHO bids 2♦ passed out I would pass.
