Richard, thanks for the breakdown here - some of questions:
1) Would you want to have Multi by Multi-just-weak, and Multi-with-strong-options?
2) Do all Ekrens have no strong options, so the "5/5 in majors or strong" is the only pair using the bid as two-way?
3) It may be interesting to do a breakdown of 2♥ openings - I can do this if you don't intend to.
4) Would you consider doing same thing for Venice Cup?
Also did you already edit the 2♦ numbers to reflect the LV use?
Folks are more than welcome to extend / double check this offering.
To me, Ekrens / Assumed fit type methods don't include any strong hand types. I found it interesting that one pair seemed to be using a 2♦ opening to show a weak two in hearts without any strong hand types. The main reason seemed to be that they wanted to use 2♥ to show 4+ Hearts and 4+ Spades.
