4♣ unless 3N shows a weak NT or is non serious

4C.

I prefer 3N non-serious to be about poor trumps, which is not the case here.

P.S. @quikwal: please use the hand diagram tool, avoid all caps and differentiate the titles of threads.

x, J10xxx, Axx, AQJx too strong ?

For us 3♠ would already be a void, but am imagining something more standard

I assume the splinter means "do not think of slam unless you have 14 outside my shortness." But I bid 4♣ anyway. I probably wouldn't at the table.

Our splinter is usually 2 « useful » cards (a trop trump plus a side ace or king or 5 low trumps plus an ace and a king, rarely 2 aces)

Here the concentration of values in C make the hand too strong and I’d probably bid 2C followed by a S splinter if partner plainly repeats their suit. They will expect 54 the other way round but one often has to make with what one has!

For me that is a fairly ordinary opener so I just bid game. If partner has a strong splinter they can consider going further
