people pass 2/1 overcalls from partner way more than me. For me passing with 8 HCP is almost insulting partner.

Luckilly my partners make 2/1 overcalls a less lot that others as well.

I give up. Because it implies that he can't make 3-level bids with 17 combined hcp? Why else would it be insulting?

What is believable (not too far into left field) here?
A higher scoring partial in clubs? Dreaming!
Game in either suit? Hallucinating!
Big trouble from any act gets too high? Yeah.
Diagnosed doubled? Not unexpectable.

True, in my hallucination partner has Axx AKQxxx xxx x. Then I really start hallucinating and thinking if a 13 count with a stiff club makes game, how many other hands do...
