1D=P=1H=(2C)
2D=p=2S=(3C)
P=P=X=p
?
For this post assume 1D and 2D is natural but does not promise anything extra. Please assume opener denies 3H with 2D.
What is your best guess estimate on what partner's hand type is with his X?

5♥, 3-4♠, 3-4♣, 0-2♦, enough to set 3♣ profitably 50% of the time or more, in his opinion.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Cooperative to penalty.
2♠ is unlimited and they've probably stepped in it. I would expect a good 4=5=1=3 or so with Hxx to HHx in clubs.
Axxx, Axxxx, x, AJx feels right.

4513 ,4522, maybe he even don't have ♣ control but have to say something -optional double and we can say 3NT now . I don't expect ♦ honor -he could say 3♦ with 2 cards.

The Double has a strong penalty flavour with 0-1 ♦
