Horrid suit.. decent defence against ♠ and 6322..this is the easiest pass I've ever seen.

The only time I'd open it 2♥ would be in third seat and I'd have to be White at MP and White vs Red at IMPs vs opps who have some skills at punishment.

I would open 3♥ NV versus V, 2♥ NV all and pass otherwise.

If the spades got moved into the hearts, I would open 3H in all but V versus NV in which case just 2♥.

I really dislike this hand - the S, the shape and the grotty hearts. I would pass in all seats.

Even if they have the pips to pass me, it would have to be someone with very long hearts. Who wants to give up 650 to only get 500? People want to defend vul and they will have the pips for it, hence pass vul.

Bad suit notwithstanding this is a fairly middle of the road not vulnerable pre-empt for me.

2♥.

It is close to 2♥ vulnerable but not close at unfavourable. Perhaps I would PASS with a suit this bad but I know plenty who would open. MPs is better than IMPs for a preempt on a bad suit. Where frequency of any disruption is what counts not just how many times you go for 1100.
