1. Even if you had a NFB available, this hand is WAY too weak

2. A case could be made that

 

Dealer should double 4

East should then bid 5

This looks very good when partner bids 5H but surely it's just a ton more likely that he will bid 5D rather than 5H.

West was fine, east is probably supposed to do something immediately with a void when white/red but that is dangerous so I dunno. No doubt gnasher and 655321 woulda bid something :D

No, I'd have passed throughout. Even if I played weak jump shifts here, this would be too weak.

Fair enough

 

(I was worried that my comments were overly influenced by looking at both hands. It appears as if they were)

Partner shouldn't move without some values not sure 5would even be correct over the X.

No NFB avaible this time, search for a blame elsewhere.

I think East should have made a Neg-DBL.

If partner doesn't have Hts, he can tolerate partner's Cl or Diam rebid.

Hi,

 

I think the auction is fine, although a possible alternative to

Pass is 2C, you will have a 8 card fit most of the time, in which

case the hand is stronger than 2HCP.

 

If you get another chance, you can maybe introduce hearts

in a later round, although partner never will give you a 6 carder.

 

The hand is unfortunately too weak for a 2H NFB bid or a 3H fit-jump.

 

With kind regards

Marlowe

Bidding 4NT over 4 would look silly if partner had KJx A K10xx AK10xx or KQ109 Kx xxx Axxx.

 

The opponents have had an unscientific auction and may be about to run into a bad spade break. It's wrong to unilaterally commit to the five level when you know least about who can make what.
