No hand, no suit, no game ... therefore no bid. Is double the monkey option?

3♠, not close for me.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

3♠ is not close for me.

If 3 ♣ was a normal bid, we may win the board by better defense, lesser declarer play or missed games/slams on their side.
If 3 ♣ was offshape, they may struggle themself.

There is no need to randomize the bidding by an antifield call.
Kind Regards

3♠ at matchpoints
pass at imps

Could miss a game, but that's life.

I think you have to bid 3♠, or else you will lose too many partscore swings and miss too many games. Occasionally you will go for a number but at least you're favorable, and they haven't doubled yet.

This would be an auto 3♠ at MPs since -1 or -2 could win the board. Likewise an auto 3♠ if partner were not a PH - somebody has to act. I would even bid 3♠ if LHO were a PH because the chance we go for a number is way reduced in that case.

As the given conditions are not the above, I'd pass.

Passers win this one. 3♣-1 gets you +100, while bidding 3♠ will get a raise from partner and a prompt double from your LHO, who has nothing except ♠AQJx and some other stray high card; 4♠ will go down either 2 or 3 depending on how it is played/defended.

If you doubled, congratulations. You get +200 for being completely ridiculous.
