Our FSJ requirement are a bit loose. KQx or xxxx is adequate support. QJTxx or AJ9xx is adequate side suit.

4♥

 

Very tempting to bid 4♣, which is not a cuebid, but simply informs partner about the double-fit, enabling him to make an informed decision, if the opponents bid on, after our 4♥.

 

I do, however, want to give my opponents as little bidding space as possible.

 

If they bid over 4♥ I take the push myself, unless partner has doubled.

 

Best Regards

3♦, we may have slam

[Flameous]

3♦ or 4♦ depending if 3♦ can be just extras or does it show shortness. Slam is indeed easily in picture.

P propably has something like that which pretty much makes me want to be in a slam.

4♦, catering both for the possibility of a slam and for further competition.

 

A supposedly uninformative jump to game in this sort of position never seems to work for me.

[effervesce]

Put me down for 4♦ too.

Ive thought for a while and i dont know why i bid a lazy(lame?) 4H, the dummy came down exactly like ive visualize it.

I'd sign off, having a minimum and a wasted queen. I'd blame the opponents for our missing this slam - they had 19 points and a spade fit, so they might have had the decency to say so.
