When I saw the headline, I was certain I would balance, I am a compulsive overbidder.

But not this one. It's IMP's, and partner will take you overboard way to many times. (He has to, or you will miss to many games.)

At MP's, where partner will have to be less inclined to move on, I'll be there with a double, holding my breath.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

As a nonexpert I am not close to good enough to ever balance on any type of hand.

Never. Partner may make a penalty pass, which will be a disaster for you, or partner may drive to game/slam, which will also be a disaster. There are so many ways that balancing loses, and so few where it's right in this situation.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

not close to being close.
