I've been using intermediate two-bids for a couple of years with my regular
partner, without notable success.  Slam bidding, or finding the right game
contract, seems to be too crowded.  We use 2NT negative, which doesn't help.
I went so far as to buy a book titled "Intermediate Two-Bids in Bridge" by
Gold, and found that he hardly discusses I2B's !

As an amatuer bridge theorist, I've been frustrated in my attempts to improve
on these.  I'm not fond of weak twos, but of course I prefer a two club opening
to strong twos.

Let me note that hands which are difficult to bid using I2B's aren't any easier
to bid when opened with one of a suit.
