pass because partner allowed me to, partner can bid 3M with 3 cards if all that he wants is diamond stopper.

Pass because we have found a trump fit and partner has expressed a willingness to defend.

pass. I always look for a reason not to pass doubles, but MP at these colors, let's do this.

Pass because partner says we have game-going values but it's not obvious that we have a good place to play. Partner should have bid a 4 card major on the first round so we don't have a fit there, and AJ is not a great stopper for NT. Partner might also bid with 6+ clubs so he probably has 2+ diamonds. Since they have only a 9-card fit and we don't have an obvious place to play I will pass and take my chances on defense. The vulnerability also makes defending attractive but I think I would pass even if the colors were reversed.

Pass at Matchpoints I guess. This is not a hand for 4M in a 4-3 fit.

Happy to pass with bad clubs and plenty of defense here.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!
