If I'm filling in for someone, I pass, since he obviously didn't think we could make game and I might as well honor his judgment in his absence.
I try 4♥. 6-5 come alive, etc. I have 0 tricks on defense since LHO is marked with short ♠ and RHO is marked with short ♥. I'd also expect partner to have a pretty fair hand when the opps passed a forcing auction (no?) and he revived it.

Disagree quite strongly with 2♠, this should show a good hand, and we don't have a good hand.
After that, I can understand all of South's later passes, hoping nothing bad will happen, but something bad did happen. In case this is a hesitation problem I wouldn't ever pass the double, but really I abstain because of the original overcall.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

lho, playing a weak 1N method, opens 1♣ and the auction proceeds:
(1♣) P (1♠) 2♠ (P) 3♣ (3♦) P (P) 3♠ (4♣) P (P) x (P) ? are there any calls by you with which you disagree? If so, which and why, and in any event, assuming you've had to fill in for the bidder, to date....what do you do now?
