3♣ is a GF for me. I know it's only a roundforce for some, but I've never seen it being passable.

I don't think 3♣ is forcing.

Like Harald, I believe that it is practically game forcing.
Luckily, my hand is strong enough for that.

Nobody has mentioned the Good Bad 2NT convention http://homepage.mac.com/bridgeguys/Convent...ad2NTCohen.html, is it that uncommon/unpopular? When using it 2NT would be a a weak puppet to 3♣, and a direct 3♣ would be stronger, probably GF in this case. Or does everybody play the reverse version (Bad Good 2NT), when 3♣ for sure is non-forcing and 2NT promises extras? Bad Good 2NT is my preference, the weaker hand is more common and the stronger hand can better afford to go slower, in case of further preemptive actions from the opponents.

Using either Good Bad or Bad Good I would probably choose the stronger 3♣ bid in this case. Although Bad Good 2NT will in this case terribly wrongside 3NT, if it happens to be the right final contract.

Seems like a horrible situation to play G/B.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Agree. A hand with clubs can pass or bid 3♣, or maybe double or cuebid if those bids are not reserved for something else. A minimum hand with 6+hearts or 4 spades can just bid at the 2-level.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

Disagree. GB is perfectly good and playable here.
