Previous hand you were +790 in 4♦X=. Opps are juniors. You're up about 25 with 4 boards to play or something like that.

Scoring: IMP

P-(1♠)-P-(2♠)
P-(P)-?

Seems a fun and easy pass. Partner is a passed hand and it's likely that you have a joker on your right who is going to go down 4 or 5 against your partscore. Let's chalk up another couple of imps.

Stay fixed. Possible you have a game, but if that's the case you are just unlucky. More often they donated a small random number to you for no particular reason.

Think of if this way. If you should be getting 450 in 4♠ then by taking the same tricks you get 300 against 2♠. No disaster.

I have a feeling that because the hand is here, you had a slam...

What would you do other than pass? I guess you could bit 3NT, but that seems really rich, espeically opposite a passed hand.

Even if they psyched, you're gonna set them 200-250. At most a 5 imps loss.

And if they didn't psyche....

Playing Overcall Structure I held nearly the identical hand. RHO was 3rd seat red.

Later I learned that a double here playing OS is penalty! Now wouldn't that be nice.
