I won't bid and I can't redouble. So I will pass and settle for 800.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I don't think it's harvest time at all. After all overcaller probably has KJTxxx with some strength in dummy (partner is passed hand) so he will be able to score a low trump or two by ruffing some major cards.
I still pass but I expect to get 300, sometimes 100 and very rarely 500.

overcaller does not have KJTxxx of diamonds.
anyway why is it so important how much he goes for? pass is 100% clear.

Pass. I'm guessing there was some confusion surrounding 2♦ and this was a MI / UI situation?

It probably depends who has the better jack of diamonds.
Anyway does it really matter? If RHO has these entries that you are so pessimistically assuming and LHO has the diamonds over you then you are getting 300 at mps when you have no game and most other people won't be getting it. Yay!

i pull to 5nt pick a slam - there must be a slam on and they escape cheaply in 2Dx for this hand to have been posted at all

Good thought, but partner is a passed hand.
Perhaps partner has a weak hand with 6-6 in the majors and 2♦X is cold - after all even this thread has a couple of people who wanted to double instead of bidding their suits, and doubling with both majors is much more plausible than doubling in that thread.
Anyway, agree with the obvious pass of course.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

In most poll there is always a clueless option that is completly irrelevant. This one is no exception.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

actually I have asked the wrong question, not a surprise that nobody is bidding here.
It should have said: "do you expect to score more than +100 if you leave the double in?" some posters think yes
but hey, apparently I created the first unanimous poll, so that's something
the table result was 2Dx =, when partner led Q♠ from:

Good question. I'm too bitter to think about it. One day my partner will have an ace, or a king, or just not give up a trick on lead.
