You hold at south:

S: T86432

H: KJ

D: JXX

C: TX

 

W N E S

1D X 1H ?

 

Do you bid 1S, planning to follow with 2S if opps compete to the two levels or you bid 2S now? Which one should be stronger?

2 isn't really an option since that is invitational. You have to bid 3 or 1 then compete.

1S. I plan on competing obviously. If I had some shape I would bid 3.

I held a similar hand at Palm Springs and bid 1. On my next round, I heard 4, pass, pass to me.

 

I don't like a 6223 either, but I like the idea of getting my hand off my chest early.

Well if you think 3S does not show a purely defensive piece of crap then bidding 3S is not getting your hand off of your chest, it's misdescriptive. I'm very happy to pass if it goes 4H on my left pass pass, and I am very happy I didn't induce partner to save.
