At matchpoints, would you pass or would you try one more time to improve the contract? If you pass, how much better would the spades have to be to try 2? (Would you bid it with all 6-card suits? Any 5-card suits?) How much better would the hand have to be to try 2NT?

I've been passing but I've gotten mostly bad results so I wonder if I should be more optimistic.

I would bid 2. It's ugly but the field will probably bid with this hand so I would want a higher degree of confidence that 2 is best before passing it.

Pass.

Buoyed by the fact that:

1) Partner is frequently raising on three spades
2) Opening 1N on a 2362 and a 14 count a lot
3) Rebidding 2] with a 6-4.
