IMPs converted to VPs (sorry should have said at the start). The person with this hand is an International player, his partner non-expert. What is your choice? Partner's double is undiscussed, so presumably just penalties.

Imps or MPs? (Not that I will enjoy making this decision either way....)

Pass. I suspect they'll make, but bidding could make it a lot worse. At least I have a defensive trick, which I haven't exactly promised.

I pass. I don't like it but I pass.
As to the unbalanced nature of the partnership, I don't care. My partners are always allowed to think that they are better players than I am, they are not allowed to bid abnormally because they think they have to bid my hand as well as their own.
Now as to what I am going to lead, that's a question. The ace of spades, I think.When partner doubled he probably did so expecting a spade lead and while I don't like that either, it's what I am leading.

I think pass is horrible with 75. I'd bid 5S but don't hate 6C.

5♠
May well land on my head but partner can hardly expect my bid in front of his unpassed hand to be this "thing".

- Pass Trust partner?
- 5♠ You have lots of shape and few points.
- 6♣ Might work well if partner has a ♣ suit.

Just a guess. I rank:
- Pass Trust partner?
- 5♠ You have lots of shape and few points.
- 6♣ Might work well if partner has a ♣ suit.
What do you lead after passing?
