Hi all !!

This another post asking for suggestion on the strong club overcalled scheme posted in:

This time, I would like to know the best way to handle opener's rebid after LHO overcalls and pard doubles and RHO passes.

Here are 2 specific questions. In both questions, responder's double can be either
a. semipositive negative double (5-7 at 1 level, 6-8 at 2 level), usually balanced; unbalanced semipositives would bid the 5+ bagger (if decent), NF;
b. GF any shape (may not have support in unbid suits)

1) 1C-(1S)-X-pass-?

Now the questions are:
a).if I am holding a balanced hand with 4 hearts, should I show the heart support (2H)? Or should I bid 1NT to show the balanced hand ?
b. Would 2NT be the bigger, GF balanced hand ?
c. how do I make a GF bid if I want to start a slammish investigation ? Would a cuebid be right or would you use it as natural to expose a psyche ?


2) 1C-(2S)-X-pass-?

Similar questions:
a. if I am holding a balanced hand with 4 hearts, should I show the heart support (2H)? Or should I bid 2NT to show the balanced hand ?
b. How do I discriminate the strength of the balanced hands ?
c. how do I make a GF bid if I want to start a slammish investigation ? Would a cuebid be right or would you use it as natural to expose a psyche ?
