1H.

 

While this hand certainly contains enough playing tricks, it does not contain any semblance of defensive tricks that a 2C opener should have, imo. If opps get into the bidding, partner may eventually end up doubling a making contract, expecting more defense in your hand.

2C, I have a single suiter in

the mayor, and no rebid problems.

If I open 2♣ I would have rebid problems after

 

2♣-4♠-X-ps 

 

 

of course if I open 1H I have the

same problem.

Not really, if I have opened 1 partner has a 10 count or so. I expect 5 to definitely make and slam maybe on.

 

If you have opened 2 partner might have anything from a balanced 0 count that doesn't fancy the 5 level (pass is forcing) to an out and out penalty double of 4

:lol: , I agree, but the question / remark was,

that I have a rebid problem, which I do not

have, I know what to bid: 5H.

 

I dont know, if I bid to make, but that does

not matter since I will bid it anyway, ...

IF I had opened 1H, I would even bid 5H over 4S

without a X from partner, although this is probably

not 100% clear cut.

 

With kind regards

Marlowe
