I would certainly pass this. The shape is bad; I have no Aces. This is an easy pass.

I would pass but consider it close and would not be hard nosed if partner made a S game try. I like the 2 kings, and any day facing Ax of S game might well have a shot. The absence of either enemy bidding when we likely hold a 9 card trump fit may even find partner 4423 so making a try is not so unreasonable in my view.

Please explain. I would have guessed that:
4-4-2-3 opposite
3-5-2-3 would have to do it all on power, and would be our worst offensive combination.
