Taems, you're white, they're red

♠xx
♥KT98xxxx
♦x
♣KQ

3♣ Pa 4♣ 4♠
5♣ ???

Would you have passed with an eight-carder? Do you pass now?

I also had a 'problem' with another eight-carder:

♠QJ9xxxxx
♥---
♦98
♣AJx

MP's, all red and my partner opened 2♦ (either weak in a Major or strong 4441), what would you bid? What would you bid if you need a top (shooting)?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I would bid 3♥ over 3♣ and rip partner's 3NT on first problem.
As bid, I would double and lead a diamond.

Second problem, I assume 2♠ followed by 3♠ would be non-forcing? That is what I would do. As to what I would do to increase the probability of a bad result, I can think of many ways.
