  1. 3c was 4th suit forcing but only a 1RF. Questionable whether South has the values, and in particular over 3D (showing no interest in game) perhaps preference to hearts is better

  2. 3C one round force is unplayable in my opinion. If north has a club stopper you will be in 3NT so you better have values for game.

  3. Agree, probably just a poor recollection of the system card!

  4. Some people play fourth suit is a one round force. Its barely playable at the two level but you need to discuss precisely which following auctions can be passed and which are strong actions especially by responder. At the three level in my opinion you are simply to high for one round forces and accurate bidding - you have to sacrifice one.
