Playing 2 over 1, 5 card majors and Bergen raises, if partner opens the bidding 1H/1S and the next person overcalls in a suit at the two level or three level, what does responder bid if they have 3 or 4 card support for the major? Are Bergen raises still "on" if the interference is 2C/2D? What if the interference is 2H or higher?
