Playing normal methods, your partner overcalls LHO's 1♥ opener with 1♠. How do you advance this:

Scoring: IMPS

(1♥)-1♠-(P)-?

I'll see if I can get away with 2♣. If this gets floated, its not a bad spot at IMPs, and if there's any action, i can then support spades.

So I have limit raise and one of the options is limit raise. WTP ?
2♣ sucks because if I bid ♠ then partner will think I am smartly showing Hx spades, 6+clubs and maximum hand.

is it ok to not count the heart king as full value?

I like a 3C fitjump (yes, I have the agreement with one reg p that jump advances are fit.)

With 8 losers even after downgrading HK I cant make myself bid only 2S... and in my universe, a 2C bid (nonforcing but constructive) firmly denies support for spades and would be a pretty clear error.

[Edited to add: I seem to have misclicked on the poll. Mentally remove one 2C vote and move it to 3C, please]

:) 2♣ - Pard bid 1♠ non-vul vs vul at the one level. This may not even be our hand. The ♥K is not a good card. Let's set the defense and make a constructive move. If pard has cards, he will bid some more.
Imo, 3♣ as a fit jump is optional assuming I were playing it. Change the ♥K to any other suit, and it would be mandatory

Thanks for the comments so far. At the table I bid 2♥ (and played 2♠ when partner showed a min), but thought that with the poorly placed K♥ I should have downgraded. Whether that's to a direct 2♠ or 2♣ is less clear, but certainly 2♣ had some appeal.

I thought 1N would be an interesting choice that also protected the heart position, but apparently noone else thought so.

1N with H-stop! and 6xC tricks(?). Let's see where this goes.

I can understand 2♥ with spade support and some values, and I can understand 2♣ with such a fine suit, yet still needing something extra from partner for game. Can't understand 1NT though, it seems like a joke bid, hiding both the spade support and the clubs.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

2♣. If this ends the auction that is fine with me. If not, and partner shows any signs of life, I will support spades.
