Action over 2S at MP's

3♦: even tho mps is not 'real bridge', I cannot stomach an immediate 2♦ overcall. Those who pass now are playing in fear, those who overcall immediately are playing a different game (which may be superior to the game I play
)

With my regular partner at MP's we play ligther overcalls then usual and I would overcall 2♦ immediatly. Maybe because we play in a not-expert field, but then unusual actions should not be needed to win. (I learned it is better not to do that on BBO. Your partner will leave after the hand).

This has not to be true, only if I could believe it myself it would make me feel good
...but it makes me rather think that these overcalls are not that good after all.
