Agree/disagree with the opening on #2? FWIW North had a weak 2H response available with a real dog.

Pass on the first.
Abstain on the second, I bid 2S before, now I don't know.

... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

1) Pass
2) Disagree with 1♠, would bid 2♠.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

1)puppet stayman; I think passing with such hands is bad. If there is 8/9 ♥ card fit playing in 2NT is disaster while playing 3NT can't be that much worse on average than 2NT.
So I bid 3♣ planning to play 4♥ if 4+♥ is found and signing off in 3NT otherwise.
I would say passing at imps is terrible; passing at MP's is just a mistake, probably not that costly.
2)2♠ if that's natural, why would I bid 1♠ which isn't even forcing ? Now I bid 4♣ and then show my void whatever method I play and bid grand opposite AKQ♥, 6 otherwise.

1. 3♣. In my experience people overbid these hands and we will often take an extra trick in the play so I'm not willing to take a position so early in the hand that risks an unavoidable bad score.
2. Prefer 2♠ to 1♠, though after partner's 3♥ we would still be unsure how to decide which red suit we should be playing. Will bid 3♣ over 2♥.

1. pass
2. abstain, the opening is fine, the rebid is not. I would've bid 2♠ on the previous round

3 ♦ which is forcing, I would pass with weak hands- if 3 ♦ is not forcing, I try 3 ♣.
3 ♣, why fail to make 2 NT if we can fail to make 4 Heart?

What shall I say?
We really play it as forcing, works in the system we play.
Without this agreement I had choosen 3 ♣ to force...
