Possibly not, given that partner is extremely likely to have length in spades.

Agreed Vampyr but remember that partner has been dealt 13 cards....and not all of them will be spades(!) :)
The example hand given is very unbalanced and this is likely to be reflected around the table. Anyone with
a highly developed sense of danger will instinctively realise it's better to defend on this hand than declare.
Enterprise is an admirable quality for a person to have in their upper storey provided they have common sense
on the ground floor(!) ;)

Again my little skill at bridge undermines me... I see no reason not to open 2♥ weak. Am I missing something? Were there bids before me I did not see? Thanks!

While there are a number of reasons not to open a weak 2♥, the auction has been:

all white imps

2S P 3S ?

2S is 7-11 usually 6-cd suit


And it is now your turn. Using the hand as he thread title(!) and putting the auction in the OP is very confusing and distracting. The OP should have contained a diagram showing the important information.
