2♠ or 2N...flip a coin.
I hope you are not one of those who bids 2NT, folds his hand and writes the contract down before the bidding ceases - otherwise, there is considerable difference between a non-encouraging 2S and a game-invite 2N.
Nope, Winston, I leave the higly unethical stuff to a few of the regulars at the clubs around here, where. most of the directors look the other way, since these players' twice every week participation helps pay them for their evening's work.
Yes there is a big difference between 2♠ and 2N and when I say "flip a coin" it means that I have no preference between the two.
As we all know with a S/Am type system, opener could even have a good 10 count or could be just shy of GF. This means that responder may often make a call that doesn't work out so well on his 2nd turn.
