What's your/best agreement here ?:

1)
2C* - 2H pass pass
2N = ?
*= 11-14 6+c or 5c-4M

2)
1H 2C 2H pass
pass 2N = ?

3)
1S 2C 2H* pass
pass 2N = ?
*=negative free bid

Lessons on punctuation are appreciated too. How do I add question mark and a colon to initial statement to make sense of it ?

I will only do #2, since the conditions do not match our system on the other two.

(1M) 2C (2M) P
(P) 2NT.....2NT by the 2C overcaller is "delay unusual" for us. It shows typically 4-6 in the minors with a decent overcall.

In 3rd opps are bidding NFB not you. You overcalled and now you are in balanced seat.

Do play limited openings or standard ?

Will relook at the 3rd. On the 2nd, I didn't open; I overcalled (unless I couldn't read that one either).

O.K. on the 3rd, I overcalled 2C then came in with 2N when the neg free bid came back around. Therefore, it is the same as #2 ---4-6 in the minors.

[bluecalm]

Yeah, sry I am stupid.
2) and 3) are similar, just different opponents bidding.

[aguahombre]

Number one is totally out of my sphere. I haven't played a big club system for 30 years, and don't remember what 2NT would mean as a reopen by the 2C bidder. If I had to guess, it would be the same 4-6 in the minors

[gnasher]

All of them show 4-6 in the minors. In the second sequence, double would show 3136 or similar, and you'd bid 2♠ with four.

I know of no perfect solution to this problem.

You could rephrase it so as not to need the colon, eg "What's your best agreement in the sequences below?" or "What's your best agreement in the following sequences?"

Or you can break the sentence in half:

"In these sequences:
[sequences]
What's your best agremeent?"

[Zelandakh]

How about: "In the following sequences please tell me what your agreements would be and, if different, what you would consider best:-"

Anyway, my answer would be that they all show diamonds with longer clubs.

1)
3♣ = natural invite
3♦ = artificial GF, asking for description

2)
2NT= 6♣4♦, decent hand

3)
2NT = natural invitational (since 2♥ was 7-11)
