Help
So, in some frustration last night, I tossed out a somewhat aggressive intervention into the opponents' sequence.
2NT opening (20-21), I overcalled 3♦ with xxx-Jxx-109xxx-xx. (We play natural overcalls here, in case you were wondering.)
Of course, the opponents had no way to find the double. Responder's next call, however, was 6♥, which made seven when an Ace was not cashed on opening lead (logically). The field result was either 6♥ or 6NT, making seven for the same reason.
The discussion afterwards, however, was somewhat interesting. Have you discussed what calls mean here?

My regular partner and I play natural overcalls of 2NT openings, but I have seen a number of good partnerships that play methods over 2NT openings similar to the types of methods that exist over 1NT openings.

I treat it the same as 1NT (3m) .. so transfers at the 3-level.

we play the same structure as after a 1NT opening bid.
But I have yet to use it.
With kind regards

As long as you play penalty doubles in balancing seat, especially against jlall.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

3x must be natural, you consume their space so much by doing so. Letting them have a cheap general strenght double is very wrong.
I have no particular agreements about what to bid after the interferation. Obviously 3♥ would be forcing and double take out, but no more agreements.

lol.
With partners I have discussed it with we play the same thing we do over 1N 3D which is:
X=takeout (like stayman)
3H=spades
3S=hearts
4C=nat
4D=5-5 majors
4H/4S=nat
Over 2N-3C it's just transfers, with 3S=diamonds, 4C=5-5 majors, 4D/4H=texas.
