Q1: With a real club suit, that is what I would choose to bid. Others might choose 1♥ and that would not bother me.

Q2: Without a real suit, we have no option but to look for the least (cheapest) lie.

Sorry, I thought the auction was 1D X ? (that's what happens posting at 4 AM.)

I would bid 2C with this hand, my 3 card major with 5332.

Err... Justin? Did you read the auction correctly?

I bid 2♣. If I don't have 4♣ I bid 1♥.

1) 2C, bid your suit
2) 1H

assuming you grant me some in between cards

1 - 2C (bid suits when partner ask for)
2 - 1H (bid 3card-suits when no alternative) (1NT with 5hcp is loser in long run, at least until the point i runned :D)

2C with the 4 clubs, 1M with a 3-card suit else.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

1. 2♣ seems normal. 1♥ or 1NT are also liveable, but they require an alert partner.

2. Here 1♥ is probably better. 1NT also ok, though a tad lightish.

Agree with harald, 2♣ and nothing else is close.

With 7 diamonds I'd start to think about passing.

I was thinking of that, pass comes to mind, depends on diamond spots, but tend to bid 2♣

East dealt and passed.
South passed.
West opened 1♦.
North doubled.
East passed.
The "?" is for what South should do.
The question is what North should bid.
Justin answered what East should bid.
I'm very confused, but my answer is 42.

A slight overbid, but at least it cannot be misunderstood.
