splinter. While obviously D could be right, or the source of tricks in diamonds could be the key, it's too hard to describe this if you start with 3D.

I would like to bid 3 but what shall I do over any given rebid from partner?

So I must splinter and make one more move when partner denies interesst.
Kind Regards

2C - 2H! ( no A or K or 2Q )
2S - 4C!

Edit: And if partner makes a 4D! cue, surely it must mean he has
both A nd K -- looking for a Q.
Now Bid 7D.

Is 3C 2nd neg? So 4C is the first bid with positive clubs? I like 3D, get my 7-suit in, S-fit next. See where that goes: partner knows DA,K gold but not CAKQ dross.

In the original auction, since 2C is GF, and 2D was "waiting", it doesn't matter what 3C is. ANY jump-bid ( jump-over-a-force) by Responder is a splinter for Opener's last bid suit.

He had

AKQ10x
Ax
AKxx

Somehow after 3 I managed to stay only in 6 because I could only count 12 tricks (4, 6, 2 aces). Partner could never show support for me. Actually she could had rectified to 6 specially at MPs, but she did not.
