1NT for me. I don't want to miss the opportunity to describe several features of my hand to partner.

I suppose one could bid 1NT, but the hand is sooooo defensive that it's probably better to pass. Maybe it goes

1♠ pass pass pass

what happened to the "don't trap pass with big hands at the 1 level" principle? I'll take the alternative, 1NT tyvm. :)

To those who pass, the tray comes back to you with

(1♠) - p - (1NT) - p
(2♦) - ?

EDIT: 1NT is forcing

Wow. Passing originally, in this scenario, ended up effectively forcing the opps to 3C, when they could have been in only 2C if I had bid 1NT.

Serendipity aside, I would still have overcalled 1NT.
