Or what.  First thing I might have done after he opened 2S is look at his 
profile.  Many, if not most, of the Polish players I've played with use
some 
5/5 M/m convention at the 2 level.  If that is not applicable (and I'm not

sure what I'd do if it did apply, well maybe 2NT), I'd still bail to 3H. 
My hand is worthless to partner and I might get lucky and find partner
with 
some helpful cards.  Moreover, this is a BBO indy and I think I'd have
some 
company at this contract doubled or 3NT by RHO.  And I'm only playing one 
hand with him.  So, if it doesn't work out, c'est la vie.  I haven't lost
a 
friend for life.
