I'd pass (though I'm not thrilled about it)

Pass....while this may be 'dangerous', if I had to rate this compared to 2♥, I'd say this was 1 on a scale of 0-10, while 2♥ was an 8. This doesn't look close to me...it wouldn't even occur to me to bid given the conditions.

Also pass, but reluctantly. The alternative for me is double rather than 2♥.

I can manage a pass at this stage of the auction :)

I know I would pass. Double looks weird to me though, I would bid 2♥ before I would double.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I would pass too. Partner passing over 1♣ is part of my decision.

Pass, In tempo. This looks like the start of a ruling question. Or maybe I am just shellshocked by all the slow passes which are worked out...or just paranoid. The experienced players on these fora will have thought about this hand type and strength a long time ago.

Pass not close. I don't need to tell my partner what to lead against spades, and against notrump with a weak hand, he will look to the unbid major anyway.

I would rate X as a misdescription at any form of scoring, and 2H as exceedingly aggressive at MPs, suicidal at IMP.
