3X/4X : cue-bid, jump to 4NT, cue-bid at five-level, jump to 5NT...
I'm sure there is a standard way to play all of these, but we don't have a solid agreement yet.
Although it's just a matter of preference, I'd like defences that don't include NLM (as I'm a big believer in being able to overcall naturally at the lowest level) but I may yet become a convert!
This is what we currently play. Very simple. Looking for other ideas! Perhaps something to show specific suits.

(3♥): 4♥ = Michaels, 5♠/5m
4NT = minors, wide range
(3♠): 4♠ = Michaels, 5♥/5m, very strong hand. Responses: 4NT asks minor or to play 5♥, 5m to play, 5♥ slam try
4NT = minors, wide range
(4m): 4NT = "unusual", 5♥/5om, very strong hand.
5m = "Michaels", 5/5 majors, very strong hand.
(4M): 4NT = minors, wide range
5M = "Michaels", 5/5, very strong hand.
5NT = pick a slam, any two-suiter
We mainly play this because it's an agreement that's easy to remember for a rare situation.
