You are vul against not, RHO dealt and opens 1 spade. Do you make a call?
If it matters, your partner is somebody you've played against before and you know her to be good, but this is your first time playing together, and you have no special agreements.

Pass.
If partner was a passed hand, I would bid 2H,
but he is not.
3H at this colors is not my cup off coffee.
With kind regards

Vulnerable, it's an easy pass.
Not vul, it would be an easy 3H.

Easy pass: weak hand, poor suit, nothing worth mentioning when Vulnerable...

PASS. Are you seriously thinking this is even a question?

Nope, just making sure that I wasn't off-base when I thought this pass was automatic.

Pass, but, contrary to the rest, 2♥ isn't that bad a bid and is bound to work in practice more often that you'd like.
And I think I know where this hand comes from

- Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

PASS
not even close
my Vul 2-level overcalls, especially at unfavorable, tend to be rather sound. Why promise values that I don't have? especially when my partner hasn't made his or her usual bid of "pass" yet? 2nd seat, I usually keep my bids sound (unless maybe in spades).
What is going on with this hand? Did the opps bid a pre-emptive 3S and partner couldn't act, resulting in a missed 4H contract?
Maybe it's becoming necessary to totally change the philosophy of defensive bidding to where jump-overcalls are intermediate, and immediate Xs and overcalls are transfers to a known suit, either weak or strong. Hmmmm. maybe not such a bad idea................Hey, who hit me?

Nope, nothing so exciting. See Walddk's thread if you'd like.
His question was do you balance after 1♠-P-P, with unfavorable vulnerability, so I wanted to see how offensive a hand I could make and people would still pass with it.
I'm wondering if, thanks to the person in the direct seat needing to be so much stronger when vulnerable, if one needs to balance with hands when vulnerable that would pass when not vulnerable.

It's on the LINE!
No it isn't...
Let's just say that bidding 2♥ will probably decrease your chances of asking her out for a drink afterwards.
