At game all, dealer North opens 1H. East has the following hand:
S: 9873
H: JT83
D: K
C: AQ85
Is an overcall of 1S, a "gross" misrepresentation? Is it a recordable psych?
BB 7E2: Defence to Natural, Non-Forcing Opening Bids of 1C, 1D, 1H or 1S - General
Any meaning is permitted for double.
Any meaning is permitted for any jump cue bid or for any bid of 3NT or higher.
Any bid which shows at least four cards in a specified suit is permitted.
Any bid which shows a hand of at least 11 HCP with no singleton, void or seven-card suit is
permitted.
Any bid which shows a strong hand is permitted.
Seems to be OK (Level 4) given appropriate disclosure.
Whether or not it’s a psyche depends on their agreement for a simple overcall. Whether or not it should be recorded if it is, depends on whether or not it was fielded.
