3S fit jump?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

What would 3♠ be - natural and forcing? (Fit jump is possible.)
Personally I strongly prefer transfers here, and would bid 2♥, planning to support clubs later, if needed.

This problem was presented to me by another pair. I'm not sure that they play 3♠ fit jump. ..Suppose you don't and also no transfers.
...
BTW: if you play 3♠ fit jump, I guess it is only forcing till 4♣?

Yes.

Yeah, with the somewhat lacking agreements given in the OP, so would I.
Kind regards,

It means you consider this hand as a GF hand after partner overcalled in ♣'s?
You will bid 4♠ in following cases?:
(1♦)-2♣-(P)-2♦
(3♦)-p-(4♦)-?
(1♦)-2♣-(P)-2♦
(3♦)-4♣-(p)-?
...Not 5♠ I gues:
(1♦)-2♣-(P)-2♦
(4♦)-p-(5♦)-?
Thanks,

Yes I definitely consider this hand a GF. There might well be a slam, and we could belong in either black strain.

I find it tough to know what to play here. transfers are nice but they often wrongside the contract. As for playing 2M as forcing or not forcing i think forcing is slightly best but im not sure. Anyway this is clearly a GF hand so if 2S isnt forcing you have to make a FJS or bid 2D followed by spades.
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."

Agree with 2D first if 3S is not a fit jump. Bidding 2S has too many flaws (not forcing and it hides the excellent support). There is a good chance that we can bid 4S or lower next.
If I was going to ignore spades (not that I want to) then I would splinter, that seems the most descriptive club raise.
