Help
I always try to add by any means rubenshol (transfer) after 1x-(2y) when 'y' is hearts/spades
Next is to play fully natural (Except cue) after we overcall 1NT
People's favorite conventions or treatments that are generally non-standard

I like anonymous splinters over all suit openings (cheapest double-jump-shift).
I tell new partners that my one-level overcalls should make game opposite 15-17 non-fitting HCP, and my two-level overcalls, opposite 12-14 (providing partner hasn't already denied opening values). I don't require that they be that conservative.
Lately, I've been playing "Dandy" (double for Landy) over strong NT:
X shows ♣ or majors
2♣ shows ♦ or (♣+M)
2♦ shows ♦+M
2M natural
The natural 2M uses up more room than the alternative methods.
