2/1 third round splinter

[Ant590]

Hi all,

 

Had the following auction in 2/1 this afternoon:

 

[hv=pc=n&s=saj9haqdt3ckj9642&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=1sp2cp2dp2sp4hp]133|200[/hv]

 

This is clearly a splinter, and as it's so space consuming in a 2/1 auction, presumably it's meaning should be quite specific. I was wondering what the expected club holding was, because presumably some hands with similar shape (5-1-4-3, 6-0-4-3, 6-1-4-2?) can afford to bid 3♣ along the way.

 

I expected xx or xxx in clubs, so didn't investigate slam. Am I off-base here in my deduction and/or my decision?

 

Oh, and while I think of it, is there similar thinking between partner jumping to 4♦ and making a simple rebid of 3♦?

ok, lets give pard:

 

KQTxxx...void...AKxx...xxx or something close

 

and pard wants you to take control.
