No. The absence of a H raise and my void suggests Hs in partner's hand. I have 2 tricks, she would need to have 3, so double is a poor bid.

Double seems clear.

Partner knows we are a passed hand, we have Aces which will be useful whatever partner does next, and we may be cold for a game.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Very easy double as a passed hand. If partner passes I'm very happy.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Double, we've got two aces which is plenty defense.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Pass. The hand is pretty defensive, despite the void.

Appropriate shape + 2 defensive tricks = clear double

pass brings +150
double +500
bidding anything else should let you find the 5-4 spade fit for +420

Yes we have a great hand for partner if she has a clear action. The problem is that partner with 3=4=3=3 or similar won't know to bid clubs.

Nevertheless double seems reasonable. If I am ever going to double as a passed hand this is it ~ a club less and a diamond more would be better.
