I am going to pass this. Anyone I play with would respond with a 4+Major and a 6 count, unless they had a penalty X of Ds. My D holding precludes the latter. I assume the 1D bidder has an excellent hand, or that the opps have underbid their values. We really have nowhere to go anyway.

Pass obviously, just as I would do if nobody was vulnerable.

(Vulnerability was w/w when you posted this in r.g.b., right?)

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

I was thinking the same thing...

Pass is obvious

Pass, fail to see this as a problem. If this hand were ours, partner wouldn't be passing.
Kind regards,

A reopening 1N shows 18-19 btw because you are supposed to pass with a weak NT hand type unless it has a doubleton diamond then you should X.

Perhaps If you play 'mandatory' re-opening doubles it would be a good idea to play the system <_<

You are absolutely correct partner is not allowed to hold

Generally I prefer to protect with this hand even if it is unlikely partner has a penalty X of 1♦ i.e. I have not been protected well in the past by partners and another pet peeve is partners not trusting me enough to protect and making an idiotic (latest example) negative X holding a reasonable 5 card suit behind a preemptive jump shifter.
