East has taked at both opportunities, knowing her I can tell you that my table feeling was right: she was considering bidding 2 diamonds on both rounds.

Would you bid 2 and give her another chance?

Unfortunately it is a partnership game and your partner will think you are 6-4. That will probably wind up badly for you. I don't understand why RHO bidding 2D instead of us playing 1N is necessarily good for us anyways.

Boring balanced minimum hand with some extra potential due to 5 card club suit. Seems
like 1n is a nice resting spot. How long/strong can those dia be on your right with 2
passes?

Pass

Bidding 2c now can easily lead to a poor spot if p is short in clubs the
suit is not that great. remind me if I ever play against you to throw in random 2-3
second delays so I can drive you crazy second guessing yourself:))))))))))))))))))

Pass. You're hand is IMO an absolute minimum opener. Partner has shown a minimum, too. But there's no reason to believe that bidding 2 will lead to any better contract.

Since you mention that RHO has hesitated twice, if you pass, you may be able to ask for protection should LHO reopen the auction.
