If not, or if on uncertain ground (pickup for example), then 3C.
If in doubt, bidding the opponent's suit will force your partner to stop and think and (hopefully) not pass :-)

During club play this hand came up. It should be simple but I can't think of the right bid
I feel possible bids are 2s,3s and 3c partner also suggest X can show drury or 2d, 4s was also suggested based on it being a 7 loser hand I'm not fond of that. So suggestions on what to bid here and the difference between 3c and 3s would be appreciated.

SAYC please, KISS please: 3♠ exactly what you have.
and if you agreed to play BWS2001Defaults, indeed, I quote:
Inresponding to a major-suit opening over an overcall:
(a) a double is negative through three spades;
(b) two notrump is natural (invitational) and nonforcing (jump ornot);
© over a simple overcall, a cue-bid shows a raise withgame-invitational or greater strength, and a jump cue-bid is asplinter (direct jump-raises are preemptive);
(d) four-notrump is Key-Card Blackwood (jump or not);
(e) a jump-shift ispreemptive.
SO ALSO 3♠. This hand is not strong enough for a cue-bid.

Some people believe eleven dummy points is worth a true invite, Lurpoa.

the key question is how to show yr ♠4 support with passing hand:
1.3♠=weak jump
2.3♣=8hcp around
3.2N=INV balance hand
4.4C=SPL 10-11 hcp
I prefer 3♣.by the way 2♠/3♠ underbid,DBL should NEG 8hcp+

A typical 4♠ hand I would say.
For MP, you can withhold and and bid 3♠: I would not.
