General principles. The development is analogous to the 2♣︎ opening, but the difference is that the bids which are non-forcing over the opening here show a minimum.
2♦︎relay (usually the stronger hands with a running (5)6+ card suit go through here)
2Mnatural, suggests a weaker hand, an offer-to-play bid
2NT♣︎, bid 3♣︎, I have a shortage of my own → l/m/h
3♣︎♣︎, a worse hand, an offer-to-play bid
3♦︎both majors with a weaker hand, an offer-to-play bid
3M5M+5+♦︎, a weaker hand
