Defence against 2♦ multi
In 2nd seat, overcall as if Opener had bid a weak 2♠
  • X is for take-out
  • 2♠ and 2♥ : natural bid with a nice 5-carder
  • 2NT : natural and stoppers in both majors
  • 3♣ and 3♦ : 6 solid cards and an interesting distribution
  • 3 ♠ (jump cue-bid) shows a strong 2-suiter in the minors
  • 4 ♣ 2-suiter ♥ - ♣ at least 5-5
  • 4 ♦ 2-suiter ♥ - ♦ at least 5-5

If you don't have one of the aforementioned configurations, you can pass and then overcall on the next bidding round!
