I saw a lot of multi topics lately, and as i said in another topic that in past i've played multi for very long years. One thing stroke me the most was, even at some very high level pdships, when me or my pd opened multi, i saw some very good opponents having trouble to give us the explenation of this 2♠ bid, simply they were not sure.

(2♦)-2♥-(pass)-2♠

2♦= weak 2 in a major or strong balanced hand.

2♥=Natural overcall

In this context, what does 2♠ mean to you ?

A- I have ♠ suit and one of us is bidding their suit. (If thats how u play then how do you cue ? 3♦? 2 NT ? Cheapest minor ?)

B- I have ♥ support and cuebidding.

Also, is this auction any different than (2♦)-2♠-(pass)-3♥ ? if so explain why please.

learned this from Frances:
first auction: 2♠ cuebid, 3♠ natural.
second auction: 3♥ cuebid, 4♥ natural.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I play 2S there as a good ♥ raise. Similarly in your second auction.

Also, I learned this from Clee:

1D*-2D**-p-3C

1D precision (could be doubleton, or perhaps shorter), 2D natural, 3C=good raise of D

and similarly

1D*-2C-p-2D good raise of C (well, maybe it would be better to play this as stayman)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Good question. Defending Multi is an artform an sich and ive seen many variations. One recently popular way is play DBL as a T/O for ♠ suit.
We play 2♠ as natural and RF and same goes with that
3 ♥ case.

Yes. This is your option (B).
Although I don't think 2D 2H P 2S promises heart support: what do you bid on a 3244 15-count with no spade stop?

You could decide to bid 3C with this hand to gain the clear inv+ raise.
