from the south african finals

Maybe it was the only game in town this morning, but I like to think I’d have logged in and watched the South African Teams Finals anyway.  You will, of course, remember the thrilling South Africa - Italy quarterfinal match last October in Shanghai.  I’m a big fan of these guys.  I watched a perfectly flat board which I’d guessed would be anything but.  What do you think:

Nobody vul, Alon Apteker held:

:S: -
:H: 63
:D: AQJ86
:C: AJT932

His partner passed in first position  Right Hand Opponent opened the bidding 1 :C: so Apteker bid 1 :D: and Lefty bid 1 :S: .  After another pass from partner and 2 :S: from Righty, what’s right?  What’s your plan? What would you open if there were two passes in front of you?

    Too much playing strength, IMHO, to remain silent. I’m a 3C bidder…
