Bold approach
South can count 7½ points (including 2 LPs) and 8½ losers. South is therefore on the borderline between a Pass and a positive response. A rescue bid is not possible either as 2♣ is in this situation Stayman.
Seeing NS is not Vulnerable, South can be bold and bid 3♣, showing a long ♣ suit and an unbalanced hand.
North converts to 3NT.
But what if South had bid a cautious Pass instead ?
