Well, it's hard to argue that this hand is an 11-count. But it's also hard to think of a hand improving quite so much during the auction.

Still, pass is seriously considered by a significant proportion, of whom some actually would choose the action; so I agree that pass is a logical alternative.

I play this "bonkers" system, although I also play 1NT as non-forcing.

I have discussed this auction, and 2D is natural and weak, usually canape. I would pass it without thinking too hard. I would definitely pass it if (i) I thought 1NT was unlimited AND (ii) I had UI that partner might think it was an artificial game force.
