I would invite all white at MP, like awm said I don't think 15 counts pass in this situation and there's no way I want to be in 15 opp 8 games in MP. Partner will pass my invites with most 16s and I can live with that at MP.

 

Really I don't see why I need to be in super skinny games at MP ever, we need 50 % odds and if it is really hard to play or they misdefend or whatever and I make 150 I think I'll still get a good score. I guess if I knew everyone in the field would blast, and I play much better than them, I should blast too, but in practice I have no idea if people will pass, invite, or bid game or if their partner will overcall 1N or if their LHO will open etc etc so I'm just going to try to play sound bridge and to me that is avoiding 23/random 24 HCP 3Ns here.

 

At imps it would be a totally different ball game since there's a big bonus for bidding and making those games, but to me there is not much bonus for it at MP.

 

The fact that partner can have 18 a lot and that he might play it better after the opening bid is just a factor for me to be happy inviting and not consider passing.
