I can see an argument for pass, but 3♦ is clearly the normal action. But if you were swinging or something and if RHO is a known joker then pass might be right.

3♦. Anything else (3NT?) is a crapshoot.

I did bid 3♦ and that did go -1.
I wondered if pass was better with this balanced hand.
Note: This is maybe an advantage of playing transfers over 3C in pass out. Partner knows then that DBLer probably has no strong hand with 5cM.

You can pass with hands like this but not with all your stuff in one suit. You have great diamonds, no need to go for it on this hand.

at mp I would bid 3d since it keeps the bidding open and stretching
for games isnt that important. Yes it is indeed an underbid but I can
compete further if needed. I am trying to avoid a zero and it is
usually easier to avoid a zero by underbidding a tad than overbidding.

at IMPS I would hazard a "crapshoot" 3n. I dont just have 9 hcp I have
3 dia tricks and a club stopper and the dia suit will provide entries
to allow me to make finesses that are a favorite to win. Its a gamble
but 3n might actually be safer if lho is short in clubs and the opps
get a dia ruff they cant get in 3n. P will know I probably have only 1
club stopper since I would prefer a penalty pass to 3n with 2 club stops.
I show some stuff and p gets to make the last decision with some knowledge.

Maybe, since everyone would bid 3D, the problem lies elsewhere...or it just falls under "sh.. happens".

Always doing the right thing loses from time to time.
