What now?
As an aside, what is the standard agreement if you bid -- forcing, inv or NF on North?

Partner deals and opens 1NT (15-17). Next seat (your RHO) bids 3♣ natural. They play some defense to 1NT so 2♣ is not natural. The 3♣ bid does not show a weak hand.

Bids would be forcing. If p has AK of ♦ too bad.

1NT-(3♣)-?
x=takeout, you can pass it
3♦=♥, could be weak (but you can bid 4♥)
3♥=♠, could be weak (but you can bid 4♠)
3♠=♦, can't be weak, but 4♦ is non-forcing
3NT=normal
4♣=55 in majors
4red=texas
x=takeout, you can pass it
3♦=♥, could be weak (but you can bid 4♥)
3♥=♠, could be weak (but you can bid 4♠)
3♠=♦, can't be weak, but 4♦ is non-forcing
3NT=normal
4♣=55 in majors
4red=texas
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Yeah this is a really good scheme IMO. Not standard by any stretch though; that would be x = takeout, 3D/3H/3S natural and forcing.

So, with the hand given above, would you bid 3♠ and pass partner's 4♦? Or would you pass 3♣ because there is no convenient way to show a weak long diamond suit.
