Count me as a 3 club bidder now, or originally if available.

I don't like Bergen Raises for just this reason; the price they pay is too high.

They do work fine when they come up, though

3♣ seems blindingly obvious to me. We might miss a game on occasion but rate to find the superior partscore. Still might get to game after 3♣ on some hands.

I agree that 3♣ is obvious, but I think you are dreaming if you think that we are going to reach many games after this... I think he'll need to be 5=1=4=3 for this to happen... usually, we'll be a lot weaker than this maximum... in std bidding (including 2/1) we'd bid 3♣ on x xxx xxx KQJxxx

I don't expect that to happen often, that's true.
Kind regards,
Harald
