With those agreements I now bid 4♣ fixing trumps and waiting, invites control-bid.

I don’t understand the OP. 2N denies Axx/Kxx/Qxx in a minor? Yet we’re looking at Axx in diamonds???

This kind of thing makes answering a ‘what do you bid now?’ question silly.

But maybe he meant that 2N was about clubs…perhaps 2S didn’t promise both minors?

Anyway, it’s an obvious 3H bid. No way am I bidding notrump again with this hand…one fairly short stopper in hearts isn’t enough…and 3S would deny a top heart.

Btw, I think pescetom misread the post or mistyped his reply. Surely he didn’t just set clubs as trump when his fit is in diamonds?

You can use 3♥ to ask for shortage? This can be a prelude to a slam try given you're max. and then set ♦ on the next bid.
