(1C)-----1S------(X)-------2D
(P)-------???


1C could be short as 1 (4441)
2D is transfers advance showing H and 8+ (6H or 5H +2s)

What do you bid ?
Would 3 clubs be forcing ? If not would 4C be a splinter or COG ?


Our agreement is that a 2C overcall is natural. Also

(1C)----1D------(P)--------1M
(P)------2C

is natural. We like to keep natural bids over PC or SC but we didnt discussed the 3 level.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

3S.

I guess given your general style, 3C should be natural, but NF.
And if you play 3C as natural NF, than you need most likely to
play, that 2NT is art., some sort of Lebensohl.

3♣ should be forcing, that's what I would bid. If it isn't forcing I bid it anyway.

I too keep many bids natural. BUT reserve some one(few) bid for "Where do I go, partner?"
Strong continuations if I overrule partner's "Here's what I suggest".
