For a sector 2, teardrop entry, fly a wider gate if you have a wind coming from the holding side, and a smaller gate if you have a wind coming from the non-holding side (to aid in rolling out on the inbound track).
Not quite what PANSOPS says.

There is no requirement in PANS OPS to establish on the inbound track of the holding during teardrop/offset entry
Not sure this is right either.

From PANSOPS (my bold type):

Sector 2 procedure (offset entry):

a) at the fix, the aircraft is turned onto a heading to make good a track making an angle of 30° from the reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side; then

b) the aircraft will fly outbound:

1) for the appropriate period of time (see 1.4.9, “Time/distance outbound”), where timing is specified; or

2) until the appropriate limiting DME distance is reached, where distance is specified. If a limiting radial is also specified, then the outbound distance is determined either by the limiting DME distance or the limiting radial, whichever comes first;

c) the aircraft is turned right to intercept the inbound holding track; and

d) on second arrival over the holding fix, the aircraft is turned right to follow the holding pattern.
