I know you would never open 1nt with this hand but maybe you had one spades hiding between the clubs and you already did.
The bidding goes
1NT (2c)* P (2D)*
???

2C - cappaleti showing one long suit.
2D - asks partner to pass with diamonds or bid his suit.
Assume These are all your options.

I don't know any beginners or intermediates who would open that 1NT.

Would many experts?

I guess i wasnt clear, its a mistake to open 1NT, but you already did and have to live with the concicuences.

Ah, thank you. Sorry.

I think that if you open as if you are 4-4-2-3 then you should continue to bid as if that is your hand (at least until your partner has bid something). So 2♠ seems wrong.

What would X mean? If take out (which it should be, I think) then it is a better bid than Pass or 2♠.

Yes, a clear Dbl, but that's none of the possibilities... Then I'll bid something else (I won't tell you what exactly )

[luke warm]

assume eric is correct, why is it clearly your hand? give partner 6 or 7 diamonds (not unlikely given the capp bid) and 5 or 6 points... yes this could be your hand IF it's played in diamonds.. but i'm not sure 3nt is safe, i don't think partner would bid 2d if he had major suit support (even 3 cards).. presumably there's a system to handle interference, and he didn't make one of those systemic bids

we have a decent diamond suit fit, i passed
