My impressions from reading the literature is that the strong one clubbers love to open 2c very often and the 'only 2/1 players' love to open one level and respond very light, Kokish may with zero hcp.

This is interesting, because I'm a long-time precision player and have noticed the exact opposite. Some of the reasons people (including me) like playing precision:

 

When I play standard, I HATE opening 2♣. I will virtually never open 2♣

 

Anyways, despite my dislike for opening strong 2♣, I will open it on this hand. My feeling is, opening 2♣ is fine

Your Honor, the defense rests.

Give me the same playing stenght and a two-suiter and the one bid stands out. With the actual one-suiter, 2C should be OK in spite of less than usual defensive values. This is rather parallel to Precision 1C--the minimum two-suiters get killed by premption, the minimum one suiters and balanced hands usually come out OK. Also the one suiter is much more likely to get passed out than a two suiter of similar playing strength.

Not on this hand though.

Your bid as dealer?

[/hv]

Here I would prefer to bid 2♣ (as I understand BBO plus) because I truly believe 1♥ is a total underbid and 4♥ a copout ( because I think it SHOULD show an eight card suit ??)

 

 

PLEASE correct me if I don't understand BBO +

Bearmum, I think this hand is not a question of system, but of judgement. (E.g. from 1H, 4H and 2C, which do you prefer.)

Even playing Namyats this hand is too strong for most partnerships (Some play 1 outside A or K, some play 8-8.5 tricks)

Same for me, too strong for a Namyats.

I like Romex Namyats requirements

[pigpenz]

I would open 2♣'s

old style2/1 2c-2d-3h-sets trumpsuit as solid

if pard bids 4h no aces or king, 3nt no aces but kings, and other bid shows an ace.

 

And yes the old Romex Namyats where you showed the number of controls in step responses is really nice too! ;)

As usual, disagree with jlall, 9 tricks is a 2C opener. So what if they interfere? I am 1 suited and am likely to be able to bid hearts next, showing good hearts and ~ 9 tricks. I will never be able to show a hand this good after opening 1H.
