How, about 3S?
The bid maybe from out of space, but
if I bid, it would be 3S, not x.
And I will bid most of the time.
With kind regards

PS: I dont play ELC, so if I convert 3D
to 3S, it would show a powerhouse.

This shape is awkward.
I think you should include 3♠ in the poll. 3♠ works when you belong in a 5-3 spade fit and Dbl works when you belong in a 4-4 heart fit. You won't know until later in the hand.
♣Kx is a real negative for bidding (doubling).
I double but it is very close and I could easily be convinced that passing is best.

Super-Maf 3D = 2 suits not the one bid so S+H. Partner may evaluate well.

I'll pass. I agree that double could work, but this is only the half full part of the glass.

Pass. An easy decision this one. Pd is a passed hand after all - where are we going?

Arggg I didn't notice that partner was passed.
This is a very clear pass. Although I am on a bad losing streak on this sort of auction. Everytime lately I pass partner seems to have the perfect hand for bidding.

clear pass even if partner isnt a passed hand
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Pass. Pard is a passed hand, which makes the upside limited and the downside huge.
If pard hadn't already passed, I'd double with this.
