At matchpoints, would you pass or would you try one more time to improve the contract? If you pass, how much better would the spades have to be to try 2♠? (Would you bid it with all 6-card suits? Any 5-card suits?) How much better would the hand have to be to try 2NT?

I've been passing but I've gotten mostly bad results so I wonder if I should be more optimistic.

I would bid 2♠. It's ugly but the field will probably bid with this hand so I would want a higher degree of confidence that 2♦ is best before passing it.

Pass.

Buoyed by the fact that:

1) Partner is frequently raising on three spades
2) Opening 1N on a 2362 and a 14 count a lot
3) Rebidding 2♣] with a 6-4.
