I think it's very close between passing, and doubling and just living with it if partner bids spades. 4♣ is not a good option to me. I would pass.

Lol I forgot to even mention 3NT. I should have since it's not as bad as 4♣ which I did mention.

I pass. 3N second choice. Tough one to pass, but seems prudent here.

I like 3NT. I doubt I'll like the result, but I like the bid.

I'm not passing with this, even though it could be right. I'm doubling and converting 3♠ to 3N.

Tough problem.
3NT looks so obvious at first glance, but the odds are heavily against us making 3NT.
So it's either pass or double. That's close I think. Not sure I'd manage this at the table, but I'm passing.

3NT
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

This reminds me of a few threads a while ago.
If I remember correctly x or pass with Ax....bid 3nt with Axx.

No, 3NT with Axx isn't better, in fact worse.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

This was the full hand:
At my table North got into the auction with 1S thus finding 5C.
But just hearing another person who was faced with this auction when his partner didn't overcall.

At no vul, no position, no form of scoring would you catch me even think about passing the north hand over an opening bid.
