Here's an interesting hand from the club today...

given OP 3d now.
Pretty close to x and 2d first time then over 2h I could bid 3c which must be forcing.

My two cents.
With a spade void, 3 hearts, and 6 not-so-great clubs this hand is not good enough to double (gasp!)
Here's a thread you may have read.
So I'd overcall 2♣.
As it is this didn't work out too badly. I think pass is probably right to be honest, but if that's not your bag then I think 3♣ is more than enough.

Thanks, very interesting Fhread. If I had read that before today I may have stayed out of trouble
Who'd have thought I shouldn't start with a X holding 19hcp.....

very interesting hand.
fwiw I pulled out my old copy(`1994) of takeout doubles by Mike Lawrence
If I understand it:
It seems x and rebidding 2c was great and not forcing.
1s is limited to a really bad 9 hcp.
could not find what 2h rebid promised or denied.
