I think a problem with pass is that they will usually lead a trump, and on this hand that will be really good for them. Unless partner has both minor aces, we don't get any ruffs in our hand, and partner is left with a mess, even if he has 5 clubs, but especially if he has only 4.

However if we bid 2S, they will often go with a heart lead, which should be good for us.

Pass. Good luck partner.

I agree that 2♠ will probably be a better part score than 2♣ but I prefer pass because it ends the auction (well if it doesn't I am happy obviously).

2♠. I like 2♦ slightly more than pass, but don't care for either of them.

Please play reverse flannery here.

Quite a few European pairs use reverse Flannery replies to 1m.

I'll bid 2♦ and hope partner has something extra to bid 2M. One of the reasons to play toys B)
