Strong 2 with 6-5

[AL78]

Only if you get a second bid. These are all two-loser hands.

 

The chances of it getting passed out given your shape are extremely small. Someone has the spades, and there are 20 HCP divided between the three other hands.

 

More of an issue is playing catchup throughout the auction, as partner is never playing you for a two loser hand.

are 100 random deals using the following Dealer code:

 

predeal south S4, HAKQJ2, DAQ8752, CA
produce 100

I guess the auction could go 1♦-AP on board 45.

 

I doubt it. I'd overcall 1♠ on the East hand in the passout seat. Then when South reverses into hearts, West raises to 2 or 3♠.

[Vampyr]

I don't understand this.

2♣ - 2♦(say, for me an ace or a king)

2♥(natural suit) - 2♠ (denies 3 card support)

3♦ (second suit)

is normal, and I don't see a problem.

Then if R bids 3♥ it is preference, and then 3♠ asks "stuff", or if R prefers diamonds he shows "stuff" with bids that bypass hearts, so here that would be 3♠ upwards.

 

I don’t think many people play 2♠ as you do; maybe they should but anyway interference will be inconvenient.

 

A popular style is to jump to game at your second turn (as responder) if you lack a key card.
