1D-(P)-1H-(P)
1NT-(2C)-2C

2C is not accepted
Since 3C is a narrower category than 2C and all 3C bids are also 2C bids. Is it ok to allow a 3C correction ?

Thanks

Since we would have to add a possibility to 3C (balanced raise to 3nt with a club stop), the premise doesn't seem to apply.

It depends on your agreement about 3. If it's only game forcing NMF, then the correction is allowed for the reason the OP stated. But if it could be something else, e.g. asking or showing a stop as aguahombre suggests, then it should be disallowed.

They had no special agreements, for standard bidder 3C is surely nmf here. Asking for a stopper or showing a stopper is useless here. with 4342 you can bid 3D and with 4333 its near pointless to ask for a stopper. (only if opener is 3442/3352 asking a stopper might work)

thanks for the replies

Does this post need editing?

1D(P)1M(P)
1N(2c)..Is it pointless to ask for a stopper with 4333 to avoid the opponents running 5 clubs vs. 3nt?

The point about responder being able to rebid 3D over 2C with 4-3-4-2 has a small hole, also. 3D is not forcing.
