ps-ps-??

you need to try for game 3NT looks questionable but possible nevertheless 4 is closer than 5 so 3 for me

I think you're missreading who's bid it is. You are to decide whether to leave pard in 2x or to pull to 3

I ran through a few sims in my brain this AM and 3 and 2 were pretty similar assuming 5-1 heart breaks and 4-1 clubs. However, we don't know for sure clubs are bad, and they haven't doubled us yet. I would also like a club lead in case they bid 3N.

 

So 3 for me.

3.

 

No reason to doubt the opponents that 2 doubled won't go well for us. 3 might be just as bad or worse, but sometimes it will be a lot better. I am happy to risk the occasional worse score from 3X to avoid many bad 2X scores.

 

I guess if your 2 openings are pretty solid there is more of a case for passing.

Somehow depending on preempt style but with any of my club partners I would pass, and also with a random bbo partner.

Would pass playing with anyone who plays reasonably sound weak 2's and expect to have decent chances to make this.
