Seven players. Round two is open; two players before you have already passed. Your hand: IV, VII, IX, K♦, Q♣, 1♥.
Do you claim the Dapp, or pass?

Answer
Pass. Three small Taroks with nothing near the top, one lonely King, no trump stop in sight: none of them is a XIX or higher with enough company to owe the table anything. Passing here breaks no law and wastes no gold; save your seat for a hand that can actually rebuild into something.
