2NT
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Very annoying, i think passing or X are both ok.
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."

3N. I'll bluff LHO into leading a heart instead of his AKQxxx of spades, and play for P to have Jx QJxx xx QJTxx with all of the Kings onside. 3N instead of 2N, because partner won't be able to raise on his own, of course.

Pass, I have no bid.
It's unlikely that partner has trap passed, if so, bad luck and WDO.

Pass.

Explanation: pard, who's probably short in spades, couldn't act over 2♠. So chances are we don't have a game. Especially when we don't have 4 hearts.

2NT :P

"partner couldn't act and he's probably short in spades and we probably don't have game" sounds very nice, but it's quite far from true. Partner will never act with a normal 10 count with 3 spades to an honour or two, which is a frequent case now that RHO didn't raise. Or he could have 6 hearts and a 7 count... Lots of hands from pard make game.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Partner rates to have 2 or 3 spades. Despite the fact that this probably will not have a happy ending, I bid 2NT. I think there is too much of a chance that they are stealing this. My second choice is double, but poor partner is now stuck with a hand like:

♠ KJx
♥ Qxxx
♦ Tx
♣ KQxx

4♥ will not be fun...

I've looked silly before.

At the table nobody was vulnerable. I changed the vulnerability to make 2NT less attractive, I would pass at these colors.

I bid 2NT, it went all pass, they didn't lead a spade and I took 8 tricks, 2NT could have been down 2. 2S would have been down as well (maybe 2).
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
