Suppose partner opens 1♣ in first seat (your choice of methods, but this is the natural forum so 1♣ should be some combination of natural or balanced) and your RHO passes. If it matters, this is board one at IMPs (no one vulnerable). With which of the given hands would you PASS partner's opening?

If there are other conditions that make a difference here (perceived strength of opponents, knowledge about "the field" or the other table) feel free to comment.

System matters.

We play a wide ranging 1NT rebid 15..19, this enables pretty light responses, because
the worst that can happen is a 1NT rebid by p, besides discovering a fit.

I may consider bidding with a club single, and at least 3+ in the other suits, may even
bid a shorter diamond suit to increase openers rebid options.

I rarely do it, but it happens,
With kind regards

Indeed. I would pass all these holdings if partner has to rebid 2NT to show 18-19 balanced.

This is the natural bidding forum, right? :)

Mankind is natural, so all things created by mankind are Natural by definition?

If only some are natural and the rest unnatural, you create problems..?
