Yes, my 6th card pushes me to make this overcall. How many did I go for?

Yes for the same reason I overcalled in the other thread. I may get hammered but if I don't bid now my next decision will be ugly.

Are you going to wait until you have ♥AKQJxx before you overcall?

2 ♥. If 2 ♥x goes for a number so be it. If the hand is the opponents, taking away a level of bidding may make it more difficult to bid. And if we defend, I'm telling pard where my values are at.

Thx all. This one was easy. Pard had

♠ J2
♥ J1092
♦ A92
♣ A1053

If you don't overcall, LHO will bid 3♠ and either you or pard will have to be inspired to scramble to game. No telephone numbers on this one :)
