This is a Pairs competition and as long as you get a better score than the other North-South pairs it doesn't matter how inelegant the contract is. If this deal is an appalling misfit then the earlier you bale out the better. This is how my correspondent probably reasoned, for he decided to pass 2spade in the knowledge that East would not double..
