It seems that the last one was too easy, so let's try next one:
matchpoints:



2♣ - gazilli (natural or any 16+)
2♠ - weak, up to 7hcp

2N/pass ?

Pard didn't relay with 2D to show interest in game. Take the nice plus. If the opps come in, you can double to show extras.

If pass doesn't work well on this particular hand, then blame the agreements or their usage.

This is a poster child for the style where a 2S rebid can only be a very bad spade raise, which we don't use. If that is responder's hand, then we belong right where we are, but would be in 3 which might go down.

Part of the point of Gazilli is to stay low on these hands. Pass.

If you don't pass these, you shouldn't play Gazzilli.

I voted 2NT before reading the bit about Gazilli. Thought 2C was a normal response to a forcing NT. Obviously I now pass.
