BBF vs Jec Oct 26 - don't play ekrens with Diana :P

[diana_eva]

So we thought it would be a good idea to play something aggressive for 2 level opening bids and Richard gave me a link to his modified ekrens:

We got to use it on this board:

On this hand, you know that I have 4+ Hearts and either (4+ spades or 5+ clubs)

You have the worst possible shape opposite this opening.

 

Even if I have a max, there isn't much chance of getting to game. Your best option is to bid 2♠ (pass or correct).

If I have the majors, hopefully you'll be in a 7 card fit. If I have the round suits, we'll end up at the three level, but we'll have 9 card fit.
