Let's start with an easy question

X is ill advised, especially with a descriptive 2H available (6-cd suit, 12-14). Pattern and honor quality make us very max for the call but 3H is a bit too much I think.

1♥; for me 2♥ is more like 8-11 (a hand where I’m trying to stop opener from bidding again and/or stop partner from inviting) rather than showing a hand that would open 1♥ and rebid 2.5♥. Double would not occur to me although I guess it would be right in the old-fashioned French balancing style some of our teammates use.

This for us denies a second suit, could I want to play in clubs ? maybe but not that likely, but this is a nice 14 count, a little too good for 2♥ (10-13 ish) the way we play

1♥ for me since 2♥ is either 5♥4♠ or weak ♥ depending on partner
