Vul.: None
Dealer: East

Sitting in South, you hold

S: X
H: AKJ8X
D: AQT9
C: AQX

auction goes as follows:

W  N  E  S
-----1C (1)?

(2)Suppose you bid 1H, west passed, and pd responded with 1S, what do you bid now?

WHy not DOUBLE first - then over whatever P bids (probably 1♠) bid 2♥--- showing 17+ and a H suit :)
If you don't like the 2♥ then bash 3NT ;)

On this type of hand, this is my treatment though I don't argue it is best.

1C-X-P-1S
P- 2C*P-2S
P-2N/3H**

*I have a powerful hand that may not include spades.
** 3H may be best as partner will raise hearts on Jxxxxx, Qx, xxx, xx
Or
1C-X-P-1S
P-2C*-P-2H/D
P-4H/3D
