Depends on your overcall style, ours are extremely sound so we would definitely bid on this as partner wouldn't X then bid unless he had a 20 count.

easy pass. 1♦ 2♣ is very tricky, for both sides, so we agree to play this bid quite wide ranged. If partner has 17 good this time, I may miss something. But usually he holds less...
Kind Regards

Easy pass. This is a trashy hand with no fit. Anyway, what would you bid? 2NT? 3C. Both of those are awful.

There are certainly hands where I would bid 3C on a doubleton but this is definitely not one of them.

You had a shot at a unanimous poll here if only you posted this as a poll.
Pass.
I can only assume from the fact that you posted this that the 2♣ bidder had a massive overcall and did not like the pass.

Yes, pass. I'll take my chances that even if partner has 17 good we aren't missing anything. If I bid, he'll often have a bit less than a super max and continue on to a bad game. My hand is a trashy 8 count.

Surprising for Lalldonn, even i would have passed with that

What do you think is more likely in this hand in these following situations:
(a)We play 4♠ vs They play in Diamonds
(b)We play 2♣ vs They re-open

(a) We play 4♠? Are you implying that partner has a strong 5/6 black suited hand? Certainly not likely. If they balance and partner bids 3♠ then they have made a serious error, as I will raise to game. If they balance and partner bids 2♠ I am not going to move towards game.
(b) If partner has a strong semi-balanced hand, his 2♣ call may end the auction. If they balance with 2♦ or a double and partner passes, I am not planning on getting into the auction.
