Strong 2 Clubs is a convention. Certain responses and rebids are alertable. An opening bid of 2♣ is an artificial opening which shows a strong, almost game-forcing hand of 22 or more points (or slightly less with a long suit). Since this bid is artificial and does not say anything about clubs, it is absolutely forcing. There are a number of different ways to play the follow-up. Most common is to have a system with two negatives. This allows the responder to accurately narrow his points to between either 0-4 (game may not be possible), 4-8 (game is almost certain but slam may not be possible), or 8+ (slam is likely).
