My preference is that 2NT and 3♦ are both heart raises but if you disagree with my hand evaluation then feel free to pretend 2NT is natural.

3NT. Shortcut to -50?

I thought of an 11 pt hand for partner that makes 6 clubs cold in less than 5 seconds (♠K♥A♣Axx). 3♣, what's the rush?

A natural, non-forcing 2NT is out of the question anyway, the only choices are 3C and 3NT. I choose the former. Slam is well within reason opposite a minimum such as xxx, AKxxx, xx, Axx.

I would like to show a GF hand with a long club suit and diamond stoppers. Is there a way to do that in your agreements?

Even at MPs, I can't see any reason not to show a game-forcing hand with clubs.
