2♥. It's very likely that partner will be on lead against a spade contract, and I'd greatly prefer a a heart lead. If I get a chance, I'll bid 3♦ on the next round.
This may work out badly if partner gives preference to 3♥ with 2-2 in the reds, but the opponents may well save us by competing to 3♠.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

IMO 2N (2-suiter) = 10, 2♥ = 9, 2♦ = 8, _P = 7.

This hand is reason to play your weak NT defense after opps overcall with natural 1NT. That means I can show heart-minor 2-suiter with 2 hearts.

May I suggest that you refrase this into:
"Excuse me, Ole, but my Scandinavian is not as good as your English. Could you please edit your post in this and the 'oops, I did it again' thread and replace the E, D, and B by the English symbols. Thanks!"
Probably Ole was just typing in the hands from a hand record (or a website) in his own language and forgot to translate the A/K/Q/J symbols. It can happen to the best of us. There is no need to use water cooler language for that (and certainly not to repeat it).

Hi,
There are players out there, who play system on,
i.e. they use the same bids as if the opponents
had opened 1NT.
Would be perfect now, and is certainly a sensible
agreement within the context of your system,
given that the 1C opening showes virtual nothing
besides holding a hand with 10HCP.
If all bids your bids are natural, I would pass.
With kind regards
Marlowe

Haha Ole, you'll need to search hard to find someone with the same kind of imagination as you 
.
Your choice would have worked better had you not had Michael the Wimp as partner....

Yes, I thought that MFA meant Mother-Fucking Askgaard, but it turned out to be MorFar Askgaard.
(By the way, as I remember it, it turned out ok.)
