I would have bid 2C (of course) and now I will bid 3D. If partner can't bid 3NT I won't play there.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Yes, bidding 5♣ over 3♥ or 3♠ or 4♦, or passing 3NT or 4♣.

What kind of partner are we talking about...? lol

Is this 3C to be trusted...? If so, why give opponents more info than they need to know....? I would bid 3NT right away and let them deal with the defense.

Pass is possible too... it depends on the answer to the first question.... B) but at these colours I feel we should give it a try.
If partner holds nothing more than a flat hand along with Club Ace and King we can make 3NT on top tricks unless they can take 5 Hearts first, and this is highly unlikely.
It all makes perfect sense, expressed in dollars and cents.

I would also tend to pass 3♣. We're almost certainly losing at least one club trick, so for 3NT (for instance) to make we need partner to have a spade stopper and something in hearts that prevents that suit from being run against us.

However, I don't think I could actually bring myself to pass red at IMPs. I'm pretty sure I'd pass at other colors/scoring.

Just pass. 5♣ is a long way off, and we would need some specific cards for 3N to be right.

Pass. Partner could have bid 2NT on a good hand.

You are all wimps. Except Gerben who simply plays a non-standard convention.

I couldn't bring myself to pass here... on the auction, it is entirely possible that partner has something useful, such as xxxx Kx Q10xx Kxx, and this makes for a decent vulnerable game. I would try 3♦, altho without a great deal of confidence that I will understand his rebid... 3♥ should not be natural, since with interest in hearts, I would bid 3♥ rather than 3♦... so if he does find that rebid, I will assume he has heart values and blast 5♣. I will pass an unlikely 3N, simply because while I expect to fail, I would rather play a poor, but not hopeless, 3N than a decent 4♣.

It's close between passing and 3♦ for me. Playing with myself I'd tend to pass now....
Being a bidder, I'll try 3♦ and follow Mike's route from there.
Kind regards,
Harald
