Bumbling through an auction

Playing with a reasonably regular partner I picked up the following 13 cards:

♠	Q J T
♥	-
♦	K x x x
♣	Q J T x x x

I'm North and I can't remember whether we play inverted minors over interference. That's not usually a problem because it almost never comes up but today is not my day. Here's how the auction started:

South	West	North	East
1♣	1♥	?

Lots of options for my bid. I could try 2 or 3 clubs but I don't know what they show and partners alert or lack thereof might land me in trouble. A heart splinter would have been a great idea but forgetting our inverted agreements wasn't the only thing wrong with my brain that day. No, I was on a different track:

South	West	North	East
1♣	1♥	X	2♥
3♠	Pass	?

Well my inability to bid might just be a blessing here. Partner has a good hand with 4 card spades. We're playing match points so spades is a considerably better denomination than clubs. Just to prove my insanity though I'll make a slam try. Maybe I'll be able to pull to 6♣ after an accept from partner or maybe 6♠ will play ok.

Vul: Nil Dealer: N	♠ A 9 x x ♥ K J ♦ A Q ♣ K x x x x
♠ K x x ♥ Q x x x x ♦ x x x x ♣ A		♠ x x x ♥ A T x x x x ♦ J x x ♣ x
	♠ Q J T ♥ - ♦ K x x x ♣ Q J T x x x

South	West	North	East
1♣	1♥	X	2♥
3♠	Pass	4♥	Pass
4♠	Pass	Pass	Pass

Partner wasn't keen on slam but a diamond lead and when the K♠  was onside we had 12 tricks in spades. Feeling confident my match point shenanigans combined with lack of forethought had netted us a good result we moved on. Par score: 5♥x down 5, +480 was worth a matchpoint short of 50%. Tough school.

Here's a challenge:

♠	K 2
♥	7
♦	Q 5
♣	A K Q J T 9 8 5

what action do you take after a weak 2♥ opening?
