I'd just pass.

Think this is totally normal.

If you overcall on POS all the time, though, maybe you owe partner another bid to show that you actually have a legit overcall (yes I saw the vul) :P

yeah I think you are screwed into a pass if you were going to X you needed to do it the previous round with the intent of bidding ♦s the next

First instinct was to X but now i think pass is better. It's not very likely we have a spade fit after the negative X and that takes away one of the biggest upside of a double.

Sometimes we can defend :)

Pass. For me this is a WTP. I overcalled. I am allowed to hold this hand.

And I do not normally overcall on a POS. Even at favorable. :)

Double, I have about ♠AQ extra and I'm off one card from the perfect shape. It's not perfect but at least my heart king seems to be pulling its weight. Another factor in favor of doubling is that we are white with a great suit.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

extras, ideally 3163 but certainly some 5422 and 6322 are possible.

Nothing much happened in this hand. This hand doubled (an American Venice cup player) and the other hand should have passed and they would have got 200 or 500. I think. The other hand pulled to 3C and he went 1 or 2 off. This is all from my memory and it may not be 100% accurate. Partner had QJxx of hearts and JTxxx of clubs and 2 2 but I don't remember with what.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
