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

At our teammates table, the opening was 2H, at our table, the opening was 2D multi, a weak 2 in either major.

I haven't defended against multi too much, so I just decided to pass this. Should I just have assumed a weak 2 in hearts?

I just bid 4♠. Would have bid 2♠ before though.

/multi I would have another chance and am more likely to pass. /2H I think 2S is shaky, but ok. Now, I have a problem, but if advancer really jumped in Hearts, He could handle 4S/multi, so I guess the problem is how many diamonds to bid.

On the heart-heart auction, I go with 5H...yuk.

I had bid 2 ♠ direct, but this hand is not far away from a pass.
Now 4 NT followed by 5 spade is the minimum.
Kind Regards

Pretty much everyone would overcall I guess.

Now abstain, because it's quite a hypothetical question.

I might not overcall after a multi 2D opening. I might double to show a 13-15 balanced hand.
