Your call? In case it matters, 3 over your 3 would be non-forcing (ELC), and 2NT would be Lebensohl.

there is little difference between this sequence and
2s p p X p. I have some limits on my hand since I was unable to bid over 2d (same with p over 2h). We
have no trouble showing some power with a 3c bid but that does not seem to do this hand justice.

There seems to be little reason to assume we cannot have have a game. Lho did not raise to 3s and could make a pass while totally broke.

3c would start to show this hand but I can bid 3c with a k less and no hint of a spade stop. I think this hand deserves a bit stronger treatment.

3s.

If p is very short in spades we might reach a difficult to bid game this way or p might surprise us and bid 3n on some occassions.

You have nice honors, but no clear fit and no good stopper. The auction is not quite the same as the auction 2S - p - p - Dbl, as partner won't have a very strong hand here. I think that his minimum is also a bit lower.

I would bid 3C positive. If partner corrects to 3D I would pass.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

what do you think of pass?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I wouldn't pass, I have what could easily be 4 small spades.
