Which brings up a related question. Does "I like Clubs" have standards for hand strength and suit, or just the suit, and what are those standards? Certainly they are different than the criteria for a super-accept of a major xfer.
I just ask myself "if partner bid an invitational 3
♣ would I pass or accept?" So it's not at all like a super-accept, but more like an invitation that you should accept half the time or so.
But Clee and I actually play 2
♠ is a notrump invite or clubs, so that we don't have to go through stayman to invite and can play 2NT shows diamonds. That means we just show straight min/max over it without regard for clubs, which is slightly less accurate but unlikely to really matter. I suppose if I thought I was right on the fence my club holding could be the tie breaker lol.
