X was support for spades, or penalty of NT?
If it's penalty, passing might be ok in case they sit (580 vs 600 isn't much of a loss in 1NX+2, but hedges against 3N-1).
If it's support, maybe you want to try 3♦ or 3N?

Pass.
I understand XX, but sometimes it wll
help, not to tell them, that you are happy
sitting 1NTx.
Because how happy are you, if 2Sx comes
back?
With kind regards

As far as I can see, someone doesn't have their bid - my partners don't bid 1N lightly in this situation - even when I have made a red vs white overcall which should be reasonably up to strength (as opposed to some of the bus tickety things I like to do with the colours reversed).
Anyway, at IMPs I think I pass for now, for the reason RobF gives. If it were MP, then 580 for 1N*+2 is not adequate compensation for 3N so I redouble for now and see what happens.
