Still beats making no sense at all, like you do.

The principle to apply here is "am I a minimum, Maximum, or average for the bidding so far"?

That is also known as the principle of de-responsabilization. I.e. "I need a reasonable excuse if my bid turns out bad." Pard has already asked you to take a part in the discussion when he doubled. I'm not saying that you should take action on this particular hand (I also wouldn't). Just that one needs to realize one is not just supposed to "bid your hand". One is also supposed to make decisions when the time is right.

Your partner asked you to bid your hand's shape and values as accurately as possible.

If you do that, you will not need any excuses for your part of the auction.
