North hand is worth a 2 raise even if 3 points lighter, add a point and exchange the quacks for a couple of kings and you have an easy 3. So how can pass be defensible? Give the North hand 4 trumps and a stiff with 0 HCP and I would give a single raise opposite a 16-21 1, and surely the given hand is better than this.

Just to be Devil's advocate, there is a lot to be said for playing 1 forcing and 1N as a double negative. from book Precision'sOne Club Complete, K Wei & J. Radin

example responder hand

here 6/6 playable and will pass 1 if not forcing
