The question seems to be what is 3♣ as much as anything. Is it checkbacklike, or a stopper ask? Assuming this hasnt been discussed, I'd assume it's a stopper ask and bid 3NT.

3H.
Although I don't like my shape or support so much, I think 3N should be more adamant about good club stoppers.

3♥. Rightsiding the NT probably won't matter unless pard has a stop or we have 9 runners (doubtful).

I like to have the agreement that 3S= 3♥ and a club stopper.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

3♥ or 3NT depending on what 3♣ means.
We would double on most flexible hands giving more room in which case there is not much need for 3♣.

Hi,
3NT.
Partner could have make a t/o,
if he would have been short in
clubs, so he will hold 3 clubs, at
least most of the time.
With kind regards
Marlowe

3NT for me. Even if pard has 5 hearts, this might be preferrable.

3H, partner would double first with a fairly balanced hand.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

its the opposite for me X with a balanced hand and 3C with short clubs.

I'd expect partner to be short in clubs, as he would double or bid NT with a balanced hand. I'll bid 3♥.
Kind regards,

3♥. Given I have three hearts I would want a solid double club stop before bidding 3NT. Partner can always lurk with 3S over 3H and I'll bid 3NT then.
