1S - p - 1NT p
2C - p - ?

2C is 5S-4+C 12-17hcp btu not 15-17 and 5-5 (that would jump to 3C). What is my plan here ?

I will start with a 2d BART, a very commonly used convention.

I expect to end up in 5d but will let pard describe his hand a bit more over 2d bart.

Most of the available bids (probably all of them) are not forcing. If there's a forcing bid like the one mentioned above I'd try that but as it is a jump to game or slam in clubs is probably best.

You could also risk 3 for the sake of description and choosing a better strain wwhen available. Maybe that's the right approach.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the 3.

slam in clubs


That's pretty optimistic. Partner may well have AKxxx Kxx x Qxxx or something like that...

You did not bother to say whether 1NT is forcing, whether 2C can be 3 or even 2 cards, so it is impossible to give an answer to half a problem.

He said 4+ for the 2C response, though I admit the formatting is tough.

I am sorry for not clear description. It was pick-up partnership and I intended it as judgement call (ie. how many clubs to bid). We didn't agree to play BART (and it's not standard in Poland). Maybe 3D would be understood as 6D-4C but I wasn't sure about it.

Pass and pass. It's standard way to play in PC. 15-17 hands bid 2NT now and 5-3-3-2 with 12-14hcp pass. It's possible to play that way because openings are limited to 17hcp, it also gives you intermediate jumps: 15-17hcp with 5-5 distribution, so partner doesn't hold that hand.

3D seems fine. The side club fit will help covering up our losers. If pard now bids 3NT, pass. Else show the club support.
