I also play 2-2 as GF, and 2-2 as negative. This makes things more clear imo.

Agree. This hand is the poster child for responder's first call having meaning.

There are hands like that, where 2D vs 2H response is important. I dont see it here. Easy 3H bid, setting system in motion. Any time pard can show the club king, a heart slam is odds-on favorite. Either no heart losers or no spade losers, and you will have time to test hearts and fall back on spade finesse, even if club king is doubleton.

I dont see why people are complicating things here.

X penalty/big bal

pass = forcing, multiple strain are possible at least 3/3 in both M.

4M minimum with good suit partner need 2 cards to go on.

3M single suiter with extras or natural and 2nd suit or 3nt/4S is possible. A further 4D bid is COG.

4C clubs+M

4D both M

3Nt longs clubs + D stop

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
