Agree with Ben - 1H the first time - now you are too late to the party.

 

Like to have a better heart suit, though.

The time to be "frisky" is before the opponents have accurately described and limited their hands. 1 overcall on this is frisky, bidding later is crazy.

WOW so many bid 1 with this hand, cant believe it, weak hand weak 4 card suit. I only do that with a better hand and a better suit, a hand which passing would be a problem.

Doubling now show a good hand with nice clubs, you got the clubs but miss few hcp, 2 more and i'd double, but here its a bit too risky.

About free's 2 this makes me think we play a different game.

KT8x is not a good suit? Yes, I also think we play a different game :D

Not even close AK10x would be ok with a 13 hcp hand.

I reread mike lawrence's overcall book few days ago, and he would never bid 1h here, even though he is imo (and i think not only my opinion) a bit too flexiable on 4 cards overcalls.

But i said what i said about the 2H, a bid like that should be on a weak 6-7 card suit but a 4 card, not even a 5 card.

I disagree, 4 card is enough, otherwise I'd certainly bid in the first round.

 

For once I trust my opps, that my LHO doesn't have any Major (perhaps s). So what is the worst case scenario: RHO has a 4 card and LHO has a 3 card, and we found our 4-2 fit. However, chance is now quite big that partner will have 5 or 6 s, and he might as well bid 2, playing in at least a 7 card fit.

 

HCP are about 20-20, so why doesn't anyone balance? 4-3 or 5-2 fits are playable imo...
