Something at th 4-level. No reson to be certain this is our board.
4♣ if I play Fitbids, 4♦ if I play splinter.
3♠ sucks, allowing them an easy double.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

It's interesting that some think 3♥ is enough, while others splinter showing mild slam interest.

Bidding 4H may easily miss a slam but it may bury their fit.
Bidding 3H may miss a game but its very unlikely (almost impossible IMO) it goes 3H all pass.
Making a 4D splinter is ok if you play very light splinters but i hate the 3S splinter since its allow a double more often than 4D. (i dont play super light splinter or FJSF, FJSF is often going to help the opps as much as my partner)
Bidding 2C might work since you are probably going to bid over 4S anyway. But i dont like 2C since its allow opps to compete too easily.
I think i like 4H followed by 5C, it give me the best chance to buy the contract at the cost of missing some slams.
3H is a close 2nd.

From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
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."

Are you not worried about missing game Helene?
Possible system options are:
2C = GF
2NT = GF raise
3H = limit raise
3S = any minimal splinter
4D = strong diamond splinter
4H = preemptive

3S here.
(In my system 3♣ is 7-10 HCP, 4 card raise. I would bid 3♣ with that and bid 4♥ next; except if partner asks, in that case I show my ♦ singleton and max hand).
