Too strong to preempt partner with 4S as a passed hand. I would explain later that the heart 8 looked like a club when I splintered. This might happen a few more times until pard gives up on my denying a void.

Agree :)

Do you mean 3♣? and I assume you bid 4♠/3♠ and pass 4♠?

If we play mini-splinters I will use it. Otherwise I think I will stretch to 4♣.

Edit: if we are not allowed to splinter with a void I will bid whatever I am supposed to bid with a void splinter :) I suppose that means 2NT or maybe Drury.

The method to show a void, that Ive heard of is;

1M:3oM unspecified void
3♠/3N forced : 4x showing void

3OM as an unknown minimal splinter isn't unusual. When ♠ are trumps opener can sign off in 3♠ with no game interest. Typically either 3N or 4♣ asks for the short
