No.

2NT denying values, if we play lebensohl.

This doesn't really seem close to a pass to me, even though I guess there are many w/r 2♠ openings that will be in big trouble here whenever partner has a big hand.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

No, I am a chicken. I have two tricks for the defence, if my pd has four or five more, we may make 3 NT anyway.

2 NT

Passing seems way too risky to me, quite strange in fact.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I am willing to take my chances and pass. Opps will need 4 tricks outside of ♠ in order to make, whereas 3NT will likely die out because of bad communications with my hand.

I bid 2NT, my partner bid 3H and I raised to 4H which makes as the cards lie (hearts were 3-1 but both black aces were onside). Partner had xx AKxxxx AKx Kx, I guess that means that 2S is down 2, not enough.

It is called "synapses" on this forum. Anyway, 2NT for me as well.
