Team game, opponents (pick up expert pdship) are playing 2/1. "No agreement" is what you are told when you asked if 2♠ is constructive or not.

Pass is my idea.vulnerable is adverse to us after Opps' openning and responding.
I cannot carry out a Game Contract but west can.
IF
LHO ♠Kxxxx ♥Kx ♦AJxx ♣Kx
RHO ♠Axx ♥Jxx(x) ♦Qxx(X) ♣xxx
as my competition,west can easily find any Honor(s) outside in my hand.
At the same time,competion with a semi-balanced hands is dangerous.

Systemically, my partner does not have
4+H with a S-singleton (T/O Dbl or Q-bid),
nor 4+H with 5+D (Raptor 1NT), nor 15+.
So I try 3C.
Let me guess, your team's T/O Dbl got 3D response on D:4-2,
doubled to run to 4C?

Passing is too risky for me here.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

too dangerous to sit still and r/w means we cant afford
disaster (x inviting 3d disaster)
3c if p cant move we dont have game worries and we made a good lead director

My pd also suggested that i should have taken action with this hand, i thought it was close but looking at responses i think it is not as close i thought it was. I passed, whether you bid or pass doesnt change the outcome of the board they will end up playing 4♠ for down 1 while we can make 4♣.
I asked this because at the time i had quite hard time to decide whether i should bid or not.

I thought this was a X or 3♣ question, I never considered passing honestly.

Its an alternative for me (obviously since i passed)
I am definetely not advocating the pass but here is what went thru my mind, Josh.
- Pass and miss a game in teams, eventhough pd and i are likely to hold at most 22-23 hcp with my hand being balanced and in front of opener. But possible.
- Bid 3 ♣, which normally requires 6 card club or a hand with 5 clubs that i can not possibly pass. And take some serious risk at these colors. I didnt think this hand was such a gem.
- DBL and hope pd bids one of my 2 suits, and play there or drag opponents to 3 level instead of letting them play a comfy 2♠. With the risk of playing 3♦, sometimes doubled.
Now i am not scared of bailing 800 or 1100 now and then but on this one i thought, rightly or wrongly, it doesnt worth it.
At the end of the day opener had minimum in hcp but 5-5 hand, responder had 5 hcp, and pd had 8 hcp with clubs, still all we could make was nothing but 3 clubs. Opener jumped to 4♠ anyway and went down.
