What a miserable hand. I almost want to sit for it just because I think that -470 or -570 may be our lowest negative score at this point. I would bid 2N planning on passing 3♣, however 2♠ is a close second.

I would be more nervous at IMPs. At MP this is clear-cut. This action doesn't have to work out EVERY TIME, it just need to gain often enough.

I agree but what action are you choosing?

I am passing at MPs and also at Imps. Not happy about the latter pass.

No I am not happy. I would be worried about anyone who was.

It would be useful to know what the x'x are in trump...as little as the 8 would make me feel a tiny bit better.

At mps, it is (I think) a clear pass. At imps, well I have become increasingly of the view that I have been too worried about -470, but even so I think I would bid 2n and pass 3♣...mostly because once in a while partner bids something else, and now I have a good hand.

Sorry my mind skips one trick ahead... I meant pass is clear-cut at MP.
