2♣, not enough strength if partner bids 2♦ over a double.
Then I bid 3/4♣ over 2/3♠.

1: I like 2C best
2: Again I prefer 3C
3: I will have to dble here with some regret and be forced to convert D to clubs. I may not be that happy should partner pass this double.

I bid 2C over 1S, 3C over 2S and double over 3S. 3NT or 4H may be playable and we won't find them if I bid 4C. Not that 4C would be natural for me.

1) 2♣
2) Double. Partner needs only ♥QJxxx to have a good play for 4♥.
3) 4♣, but my coin toss could have flipped to pass just as easily. Bidding to the 4 level feels so unilateral. Aside from our risk in 4♣, there is also the danger that I could push the opps into a make-able 4♠.
Funny coincidence. I had this South hand on BBO yesterday. Very similar hand pattern, but my ♥s were strong enough to give me another choice. 3♠ was down one.
