It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

pass: bidding over a preempt directly should have more values

Pass - we have a pretty horrible hand. Replace the value of the king of diamonds to the king of hearts or clubs then I would X.

Our almost certainly worthless stiff K♦ meand that we are too weak to think about bidding here. Clear pass and hope PD balances.

Doesn't the person with the shortness have to bid? What is pard going to do with
♠T543
♥KJ
♦T765
♣AQ4
Or
♠54
♥AJ76
♦T765
♣AQJ
Doesn't he have to pass? And you can make game.
If you have a bad hand with length in diamonds there's no problems passing, but with shortness, your partner may not have a bid, a bid by you should at least be considered!

Pass. Agree with Uwe that I would the D K somewhere else.

If we could always find those 11hcp vs 13hcp games after a 3♦ preempt, 3-level preempts would be a lot less common.
Also, I don't see why the shorter hand has to bid. If I have 16+ HCP and 4-5♦s over 3♦, I can figure out that partner is short all by myself. On the flipside, if I'm short on diamonds with a weak hand, I don't really know whether partner or responder is the power hand.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Clear pass.
Don't agree that I would bid if the ♦K was an x and I had an additional honor in some other suit. At best, that hand is a very marginal action over a preempt.
