IMO, it's more of the 2nd seat's responsibility to loosen up at 9-9 or down 9-8 (2nd seat can't loosen up down 9-7, etc due to the risk of blocking his partner's loner). So if someone like me is your partner in the 2nd seat you should probably pass clubs cuz I'm not gonna be much help. If you pass you have at least 1 trick in every suit and a void in clubs so your team's prospects aren't that hopeless. Yes, once you pass you'll be an underdog to win the game, but you'll be an even bigger underdog to win if you pick up clubs.
