Help
100 percent true, Rainman. But, against that, maybe pard can show five spades at the one-level if the guy in between overcalls 1♥. If pard is relatively weak with 5 spades, someone is going to help us out and maybe even allow a support double or something similar suggesting 3-card support.

1N is pretty bad. I would open 1♣ and rebid 2N.

Well I think you are too weak systemically for 2NT and 3NT afterall that just promises a bunch of ♣ tricks plus some minor outside stuff oh wait that is what we have! We are probably stuck with either 3♣ or 3♠ over partner's 1♠ response however.
