You hold:

Scoring: IMP


The bidding goes:

1♦ - (2♥)- 2♠ - (Pass)
???

Edit: If it matters, your opening showed an unbalanced hand with diamonds. (Marmic or 5+ diamonds.)/Edit.

1) What is your bidding-plan if 2♠ is gameforcing?

2) What is your bidding-plan if 2♠ is 10+?

Hidden continuation:

If you bid 3♣:
Spoiler

If you bid 3♥:
Spoiler


Bonus question:

Unaccustomed as I am to 2-over-1; Is 2♠ gameforcing in 2-over-1?

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

No; a 2/1 response is only game-forcing in an uncontested auction. 2♠ here is only a one-round force.

Hm, 3NT. I don't want to get scientific or anything, I just bid what I think we have, partner can take us out of it if he prefers a contract in a minor I suppose. 3♥ is my other choice and I pass partner's response.

Plan is to bid 3♣ in any case. Pard will probably follow up with 3♠, over which I more or less have to bid 3NT over.

I don't think I've seen anyone play 2S as GF over there in a contested auction, but regardless if it was GF or forcing for 1 round, my bid is 3C. Seems nice and descriptive.

Given that I play 2S as forcing for 1 round (wouldn't exactly call it a textbook 10+, since there may be some hands that are like a good negative freebid in which I would want to get my suit in like AKT9xx and out) I would bid 3NT over partner's 3D.

3C planning to bid 3N next is obvious.

And 3♣ is forcing, of course.

3♣ followed by 3NT, I could live with a direct 3NT if you are afraid of a disaster.

I've never encountered a pass over 3♣ here. So that's my bid, planning to rebid 3NT. Bid what you've got....KISS
Kind regards,
Harald
