All preempts are less than opening bids: 6-card suit open 2; 7-card suit open
3; 8-card suit- open 4; with 9-card major or minor just bid 4 of M and 5 of m!
So when you have an opening hand, open 1 ♥️, P bids whatever and you
reverse into 2 ♠️ —that promises 17+ points
and says the 1st suit is 1-card longer than the 2nd suit. Also, it’s a
1-round force so P must bid 1 more time to give you the right to the final
decision. That’s how partner can figure out where your partnership more likely
belongs. When you include P in the decision making process, you achieve better
results.
As a side: When you have 2 suits of equal length with a good hand, open the
higher ranking suit and jump in the lower ranking—regardless of quality of the
suits—you want to invite game and show P both suits. This is fine tune bidding
at its best.
