Would you overcall 1H?

1♥ is sick at IMP's, IMO. Partner will be hard-pressed to stretch for games on the next deal, he won't trust leading my suit against the next spade contract, or he will bid like a lunatic to make up the -1100.

 

2♥ is beyond silliness. Not to mention, this should be intermediate, IMO.

 

1NT Raptor is excellent. Play that more often here. Especially when I come to the table.

 

Pass?

I dont bid 1H. For one level i have ate least one of two:good suit or good hcp.

1H also can help opponents to describe better how many spades they have (doubling with 4 and bidding with 5).

If you read my post as suggesting that it was the 1H call that lead to a great result, and therefore 1H is a good bid then, you misunderstood my intentions. Often people like to know what happened at the table.

I didn't misunderstood you, I was just questioning the merits your overcall :blink:

I'm surprised you like a 1NT-Bid.

 

If ther cards justify declaring 2♥, I'd much rather bid it right away.

I would not overcall 1♥ because I don't want the lead AND it makes it easier for LHO to show how many spades he has.

 

Switch my majors and I would consider it...
