North has at least 3 calls - 4, 3 and 2 - that I would put ahead of 2 in my Nigel-style bid ratings. Any of these would give you a much better chance of getting this right.


So would growing a pair and opening 1H on the N hand....I've opened a lot worse, playing a big club system.

While this might be a 1 opening for you, I would suggest that there are probably more pairs in the world that open it 2 than 1. I can think of systems where other openings would be systemic as well. Characterising a pass as "not having a pair" is imho highly insulting and inappropriate.

I wouldn't open on the North hand. I've done that sort of thing before with 5-5 and it has rarely, if ever, turned out well. It is asking for partner to be 5-5 in the blacks and end up in some hideous contract two down.
