Before internet age you had a suspicion there are lots of "not-so-smart" people on the planet. Now you even know their names.

I still pass but I expect to get 300, sometimes 100 and very rarely 500.

It probably depends who has the better jack of diamonds.
Anyway does it really matter? If RHO has these entries that you are so pessimistically assuming and LHO has the diamonds over you then you are getting 300 at mps when you have no game and most other people won't be getting it. Yay!

Good thought, but partner is a passed hand.
Perhaps partner has a weak hand with 6-6 in the majors and 2♦X is cold - after all even this thread has a couple of people who wanted to double instead of bidding their suits, and doubling with both majors is much more plausible than doubling in that thread.
Anyway, agree with the obvious pass of course.

It should have said: "do you expect to score more than +100 if you leave the double in?" some posters think yes
but hey, apparently I created the first unanimous poll, so that's something
the table result was 2Dx =, when partner led Q♠ from:

Good question. I'm too bitter to think about it. One day my partner will have an ace, or a king, or just not give up a trick on lead.
