Partner has his bid, we assume; LHO has some values and pu****ng
anywhere may cause us problems.  My hand is worth little at NT, and is
only of any use in H if partner has a fit with honours.  The chances
are too low for me; I'm pretty sure 1NT leads to a plus score, and I
don't think we can make game.

Pass.
