It’s Your Call

You are in 4th seat (vul vs not vul) and player on your right opens one Spade. What action are you going to take with this unbalanced hand?

You could pass, but that doesn’t seem right with all that playing strength (those little spot cards are going to take tricks in a minor suit contract). You could overcall two diamonds, planning to bid clubs at your next turn. That’s what I did.

Also, I could have made an unusual notrump overcall of 2NT, promiising at least 5-5 in the minors (two lower unbid suits). What would you do?

I will follow up on this problem tomorrow.
