Deleted original answer. Misread problem.

I think *they're* playing Precision, and he's protecting. Put me down for a pass.

Also 2♠. No way I am letting them steal, holding this much strength against a limited opening.

(2cl precision) - p - p - ?

*** What does partner NOT have to NOT T/O dbl, not 2D, not 2H, not 2S?
In my partnership not a MM AQ+A, not 5+suit with 10 hcp.
Could he have 4xS with a C-single +2x red K's and we'll find 4S?
Barely persuaded to try 2S -- mostly because pass is so committal
(quits for a 4S try; quits for a 3H,3D partial on K-6th red over there).
As Jinksy, pass is likely the winner. I just can't bring myself there.

I mean, if our options were to bid 4S or to pass I would bet on 4S being the better bid.

2s for me also. I think pass is absurd.

2♠ for me. I'd try no trump if I had a club stopper--but xxxx doesn't cut it vs. a likely 6 card suit. The hand is simply to strong to pass if I can help it--but I can see the other side of this, too. Partner is short in clubs but can't find a bid: he's more likely to be weak than if I had the club shortage.

2s

Great lead director and I can handle anything else p might bid. If 2s is wrong it is unlikely

to be wrong by -150 which at least beats their 2c which looks really really like it will make given

our club suit.
