We agreed to Bergen raises (3C weaker than 3D) and I was wondering what these bids should mean:

1H-p-3D*-X
p-p-??

p :)
xx
3S
3NT
4C
4D
4H
others

The x of 3D showed diamonds, the pass of it was just uncertainty.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

For me, pass by opener shows extra's. If you don't play minisplinters, you might play the following as responder:
Pass = 2-way: I'm confused and forgot to bid / I have tons of ♦
XX = no $, forcing
3♥ = weakest hand possible
3NT = suggestion to play
other bids show shortness

p = I have a side 6+ card ♦ suit with real good spots
xx = I have a side 4+ card ♦ suit and I like playing hands with a 5-1 trump break
3S = I found an xtra A and should have really called 2NT at my first opportunity
3NT = I found an xtra A mixed in with my ♥, the other was a small ♦ so I only have 2♥
4C = I am a Bedlam Bridge Club regular
4D = see 4C or I found an xtra ♥ mixed in with my ♦
4H = The ♦ call improved my hand to GF
others
3♥ = this is where we belong IMO
4NT = I found both my ♦ were actually ♥ so respond exclusion

I think you should almost always bid 3H, 3NT or 4H.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
