can you assume you have not agreed any form of Lebensohl, please
I actually bid a direct 5 clubs, which was doubled by LHO and then redoubled by my partner
no one was vulnerable if that makes a difference to your opinion

Agree with 2NT lebensohl and passing out 3C.
Btw, you can format your hand as
8
1065
96
AQ76532
or 8 1065 96 AQ76532 and most people would understand.
If lebensohl was not agreed, then I'll opt for a pass then come back with 3C if I'm able to.

I'm just going to bid 3NT. It might make, and if it doesn't, it might be a good sacrifice.
By the way, you can format your questions like this:
♠8 ♥T65 ♦96 ♣AQ76532
(P) - 1NT - (2♦) - ?
using the toolbars above (or typing manually).

If you are not playing Lebensohl then 3 NT seems a better option than 5♣.If playing for money; 3NT even if you are playing Lebensohl.

3NT makes more sense than 5♣. And I'd bid it only if I REALLY need the points. I'd go for 3♣ (which allows pd to bid 3NT, though I don't think (s)he'll do it).

Do you guys realize 3♣ is game forcing, whether or not you play lebensohl?

If this is IMPs I'm bidding 3NT wtp? Give partner the ♣K and we make this.
If it's MPs and I'm not playing Lebensohl I'll bid 2NT wtp
? If partner accepts I'm happy, if he doesn't maybe it will work out but I wish we were playing 3♣.

No didn't realize this. However, I don't think game forcing is a good idea here. Is there some way around it?

I think it is fairly standard these days to play that 2NT here is an artificial puppet to 3♣ (lebensohl), showing many different hand types, so you can sign off in clubs. Inviting in clubs is too tough, and I do not know of anyone who has the ability to invite in a specific suit after this auction. I suppose you could play 3♣ here is invitational and give up all chances of slamming in clubs, but it is definitely nonstandard.
