:) Yes and HELL YES. Of course this depends on ones philosophy about preemption. Imho, the important considerations are strength, suit length for those who believe in one suited 6-7 baggers and 'purity'. This hand is pure. It has a six bagger - the proper suit length. Finally, it is weak - suitable for those who believe that higher level openings are better for preemptive purposes than for constructive bidding.

Would you open this 2♥?

I thought this hand =4 tricks so I pass

2h is fine if 4 tricks are enough or you value hand better.

Its a minimum but it is 2♥ for me.

1st seat is made for pre-empting.

Having said that I am happier at these colours playing a more constructive style.
