Nope, the junior commentator never has the last word.
Borderline at best

2♣
Of course the 3 card spades, and flat shape are negative factors, but having negative factors and not being an ideal overcall is a long way from saying that this hand must pass.
Commentators on BBO are a mixed bag - some outstanding players commentate, but some people who are ... less strong ... also commentate. And, like all of us, they are liable to be influenced by seeing all 4 hands.

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

I dislike bidding on balanced hands on this auction.
However I might succumb on this hand - 15 is a lot of hcp for a pass.
I really don't like the three-small spades.

True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

lemme guess:
DON'T OVERCALL WITH 3 SMALL IN THEIR SUIT! DON'T OVERCALL WITH A BAD SUIT! DON'T OVERCALL WITH 5332!
OH THESE CRAZY JUNIORS, ALWAYS OVERBIDDING. SHOWING THEIR YOUTH WITH THIS OVERCALL, THEY HAVEN'T GONE FOR ENOUGH NUMBERS YET TO KNOW BETTER.

Lol Justin.
Han who cares about quality of suit and losers and all that crap on this hand? 15 hcp 5 card ♣ you have to bid 2♣. and if you arent going to overcall i dont know what to say.
In fact you should also overcall 2♣ if you have xxx AQ AKQ xxxxx(shocking to some eh?)

Not shocking, just plain silly. Have you even noticed that your partner passed?

I don't like bidding on this one.
But would probably bid anyway
