What do you guys do if partner bids 3♥ over 2♠?.
Anyway, not the case, partner's hand is nothing close to what you could ever imagine, so doesn't really matter. Unless you bid 3♦ you will find your club fit and make 10 tricks.

Over 3♥ I'll try 3♠ as a Western Cuebid... Maybe not the best choice, but 3NT may still be in the picture.

2♠, planning to pass 3m or raise 2NT/3♥ to game (in the same strain).
Kind regards,

Well, 3♠ of course.
Anyway, 2♠ seems fine. I actually play that as 13+, no stop. Ok I stole a point. Sue me.

Whatever happened to the transferred king? 3 low in their suit = ick.
3D for me.

I was wondering the same thing about borrowing a King. Nowadays, no one seems to use this rule, although responding in NT seems to be a little stronger opposite a balancing double.
2♠ for me and pass most calls. It does not promise a rebid by a passed hand. 3♦ is possible, but we may belong in clubs, and 3♦ typically is a five card suit.

btw, you are planning on raising 3♥ to 4♥? I like 4-3 fits, but not 4-2 fits...

My partners don't rebid 3♥ on a 4-bagger here, it's either 6 or 5 good ones.
Kind regards,

Does that mean your partners make balancing doubles with 5 or 6 Hearts ?
Kind of different.

My hand should probably be dummy. My partners would agree
