I'd bid 2♣.
Why? Because I have a M.F. lot of them.
More precisely, though. Not good enough for 3♣, too good to pass.

Agree.
Although maybe the 'winner's bid' is 3N

2♣. I would bid 3 if the king was in hearts instead of spades.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Ken it seems that the whole world is agreeing with you tonite.
With that stiff in the opener's suit this "ain't good nuf" for me to jump to 3♣ either.

Opposite myself I had been in 2 club too. I can just repeat what others had said before: With te guarded king of spade or this honour in another suit, 3 Club or 3 NT are better, but this hand is just a normal 2 Club bid. And I would never make a game try opposite a balancing bid with a 8 HCP 4423 hand.
Everything fits perfect, bad luck, game missed next board.

2C.
The hand is too weak to bid 3C, move the
King of spades to hearts, than 3C would
probably be ok.
With kind regards

No.
Partner should subtract a King, because
I did bid in the passout seat, and if you
take away the King Daimonds, you dont
have a hand worth a raise.

MY first though was for 3♣, but devuating ♠K is in order, Both players have maximum values for their bids (or no bids), and this often leads to missed games.

IBTD.
Take away the ♦K and it's a clear raise of a direct seat 2♣ overcall IMO.
So this is a clear raise of a balancing 2♣ overcall to me. But that won't get us to 3NT anyway, since I'd have a clear pass as south. We still go +130.
Kind regards,
Harald

I would have bid 3♣. I consider this hand good enough for that.

Is this a clear raise because of it trick taking potential, its overall strength or is it a preemptive raise because fo the great fit and shape?
Sorry but this looks like a clear pass to me after
(1♦) 2 ♣ (pass) ....

It's a clear raise because of its trick taking potential (ace, doubleton, 3 trumps) and overall strenght. vs a maximum overcall we might have a game, vs a minimum overcall it might preempt the opponents.
Of course this is a style question. But I'd be very surprised if a partner of mine passed with that hand. My partners would likewise be surprised if I passed.
Kind regards,
Harald
