I pass a lot in this situation.  It seems like this results in some competition, but we usually win the battle anyway.  Then, the lead hurts less than the information gained by allowing the opponents space to help partner declare.  I may be viewing things through biased glasses, but it seems to play out fairly well.

My experience is when you pass the opponents balance you up to 3 anyway almost all the time. You actually have a better chance of stopping in 2 by raising IMO.

See, I've experienced the opposite. The opponents often expect a seven-card fit and allow my partner to play at the two-level, whereas my immediate raise induces a three-level decision.

Weird.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
