I don't agree with 2H, but it has worked out well and I would just pass, since doubling seems fairly bad if the other table is in 4S, and is not even particularly good if the other table is in 5S.

No. I'm afraid I might have only one defensive trick. Partner made opps guess; I'm done.

It is an IMP tournament, but it probably doesn't change anything to your answer.

You have absolutely no reason to think that this is going down.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Wrong answer. Pard is limited in terms of shape and strength. It's your responsibility to take actions other than pass.

By the way, I pass. They're in no man's land and rate to go down. well done pard.

I would pass and hope to beat it. Partner's action seems to be one that is consistent with preemption
