What would a 2NT overcall of 1NT show in your system?

Just both minors at this point, but obviously it could be expanded to include more hand types (thanks for your suggestion, Paul). I also liked PhilKing's suggestion of 2♦...2NT showing a hand too strong for a direct 2♥.

I was hoping for a good suggestion on how to bid this hand with "simple" Woolsey as in a pick-up partnership, but I suppose that was too much to ask. This thread has produced some very nice ideas on how simple Woolsey can be expanded, however.

So far, so good.

Now, the hand BBO just dealt me at bidding practice:

♠- ♥AKQTxxx ♦- ♣KQTxxx

Is there any sensible way to bid this?

Bidding systems are not designed for freaks.
I underbid 4♥.
I am more worried about cheap saves by opponents. Any slow approach is misguided in my opinion. If I can declare at any level below seven I am fine.

Who knows I may get doubled too early.
