Pass and collect your vulnerable undertricks.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

This is a very, very clear pass. Partner is marked with short diamonds and didn't act. Thus, he has a bad hand, and this is definitely your best spot. Not only that, what would you bid? 2NT is an overbid, not only on points, but the fact that you have no source of tricks. I think you'll agree that any suit bid or a takeout double is even more insane.

Hi,

Pass, I fail to find a reasonable bid, the only
bid I may think off is 2NT, but the shape and
so is the HCP count.

Add to this the remark, that they are red, which
I did not realize until I read it, and pass is clear.

With kind regards
Marlowe

Alright, so if pass out partner is in the clear, is direct seat to blame for missing an ok game or doubled penalty on this hand or is this a "preempts work" sort of hand

Could we have another first unanimous pole? Seriously, clear pass. It's often very hard to get into the auction when the opponents have a much better fit that they never bid.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Would pass with an ace more than this.

As for parftner's hand: noone to blame. Preempts work.

Be sure to show this hand to the next dufus who claims "2♦ as weak two is meek and only helps opps"

Clearcut pass IMO. Don't consider anything else at all.
Kind regards,
