2♣, intending to bid spades next round. If we're lucky I get to bid it at the 2-level, which is always nice.

As a side note, I think it is standard to also bid that way with a strong 3=4=4=2 type hand, as well as a host of other balanced hands with 3 spades. This sequence therefore does not promise club length.

Nebulous 2C it is
Welcome to the modern world


Now opener can even rebid a nebulous 2S

Or at some point bid a nebulous 3NT

I am not fooling around and confusing my partners with splinters or control bids now.

Just hope they don't take it as quantitative 🙈

That was my first choice as well. I’m assuming that you are not intending to pass a 4S call.

Btw, a comment at large…even if one’s plan is to keycard over 4S (rather than 5C)…..it’s worth bidding 4H because, once in a while, partner will bid something else which may lead to finding a good grand.

So the options seems to be 4N or 5C….hoping for 5D then 5H
