Hi Morgann, I would need to know the vulnerabilities and if IMP or MP, but it looks to me like your lho took you off the hook.  Why do you have to bid anything?  Your partner has at least 10 cards in the majors so I don't hold out much hope for him/her having any club support for you.
 
I would pass.   I'm sure there are other opinions with better analysis, I'm interested in seeing them.

I also would pass.  3C would be a cuebid saying pick your major pard.

Certainly pass now. 3c is a death wish. . I hoped you planned on passing 2C if RHO havnt bid 2D.

Thank You all for your responses!
I hope there is a lesson learnt here a lesson or 2
The second one being , making the assumption I was the one holding the hand shown:-)  I have reread it and reread it and can't see how that conclusion was drawn. I may have been kibbing ore read it in a comic book!
I guess my reputation precedes me and I deserve it . I am not offended but just this once I was not the one holding the cards shown sob sob

Don't be a jerk, Morgann.  You asked the question, it's just easier to write out the answer assuming you are holding the cards.    Sheeeeeesssssshhhhhh

My partner passed my 2C bid and I played it there making.  However, she would have passed anything lho bid and we would have defended.  Most often the opponents will have a tough time bringing home the contract when you hold defense in all 4 suits.....

Oh morgann, I was just kidding.  I would never call you a jerk, and mean it.

LOL whoever Morgann's partner was who bid 3C, don't do that again.  It is a cue bid meaning it's our hand and let's hear your best major.
