( p ) - 3♠ - ( p ) - 5♣
Using homemade system over 1NT. 3♣ shows 6 ♣s and a maximum strong NT strength or better, 3♦, 3♠ shows concentration in that suit, 5♣ is hoping for the best.
3NT from the east is better than 5♣ because sometimes south won't lead a heart. Also, switching the hearts and spades in the west hand would make both contracts un-makable.
If I wasn't reckless enough to bid 3♣, which is a slight overbid here, it would go:
(1NT) - 2♣ - AP

I'd be able to show clubs at the 2 level but our overcall style is aggressive enough that I doubt partner would raise. Tough hand.

My leads are legendary. It's my declarer play, bidding, hand evaluation, mid hand defense and a couple of other things that suck.

2) NS do something to get to 2H
3) Whoever gets subsequent call of E and W takeout Xes
Then we branch into i) W Xed, ii) E Xed:
i)
4i) E bids 3C
5i) W is too good to pass and bids 3H.
6i) If NS showed exactly 4-4 Hs, E might try his luck with 3N, else he bids 4C NF.
7i) W looks at the bidding so far, the vul, and the fact that all the defensive points are known to be in the same hand, shrugs and raises, hoping E has both black aces as seems slightly better than 50% on the bidding. This is probably the flimsiest call of the auction, but I'd prob make it.
ii)
4ii) W bids something 2-suitery, either 2N or 3H. (probably the latter with no H stop and a S suit, though ideally they've discussed the exact meanings here)
5ii) E bids 3C if able, bidding proceeds as from 6i above..
6ii) If E bid 3C, W now bids 3S if he thinks he's shown the minors, else 3H.
7ii) Bidding proceeds as from 6i above.
If E's double isn't penalties, then I give up

Good enough to not seek for game after 15-17 NT. When your priority is not to focus on hands that makes game, it is hard to find the 3 NT or 5♣

Why does everyone think N-S will play 2♥ rather than 2♠? It depends on the runout system being used.

This theme is a long-standing source of new threads for the OP and you have little chance of convincing that not looking for these games is ok. The hand would be more interesting with the ♥Q or a king in the South hand and a weak NT opened. Of course in this case the transferred king might be in clubs.

not a big loss of imps and probably a pretty darn good mp score. If you are worried about missing
5c why show no concern for missing 3n (same principle)? The backs of the cards are a constant
reminder that we are playing a game of % and missing a seeing eye game now and then is a small
price to pay for many many more solid results --- the opps may run or may not (neither opp has
a great reason to run) but the x surely gets us off to a great start on this hand with lots of upside
potential. BTW my runouts over x are if you hold a side k in an otherwise balanced hand leave it in.

You are correct that not every runaway systems will find it. Off topic but i always used DONT like runaways, xx = i have a long suit 2x = x + higher suit 4-4 or better. I find this pretty simple and effective by weak hand.
Assuming that DBL would be penalty and weak hand can take this action.

And lucky game it is - there is no way to judge AJxx opposite KQx in the auction - swap West's red suits and game is now pretty poor.
Sometimes I use big words I don't fully understand to make myself seem more photosynthesis.

And some people will get to 2♣ then redouble to show the other 3 suits, I'd in fact show both majors so partner will have a choice.
