I have 0 experience playing vs weak 2 in diamonds. Is 3C forcing and showing strong hand or it might be fooling around ?

Why can't it be both?

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

It cant be, 3♣ bidder is Jimmy Cayne.

I wouldn't butt-in. Absolutely no way to know if Jimmy is fooling around and if he's not, it's gonna be a bloodbath.

Thx for the votes, I didn´t trust 3♣ much, althou I don´t have much experience against JEC.
I doubled and partner had the perfect hand for it:
♠K9xxxx
♥Kxx
♦Jx
♣xx
4♠ made comfortably thanks to the ♦J. JEC had ♣AKJxx and maybe a heart honnor.
At the other table 2♦ opening was not avaible and after a weak 2♠ opening game was easilly reached.
EDIT: partner had 6 spades not 7

Is it normal to need 14 cards to take 10 tricks?
