The bidding was happened at the other table.

At my table, the bidding was exactly same up to 2, I took its usually honour doubleton heart support, since he can bid:

 

2 to show natural 4-card suit

2NT to show 3-2-2-6, 2-2-3-6 or 3-1-3-6

3 to show 3 card hearts and a good clubs

3 to show 3 card hearts and -shortage

3 to show 3 card hearts and 2-3-2-6, clubs is so so

3 to show 3 card hearts and -shortage

3NT to show solid clubs

 

As long as my partner failure to bid 3NT over my 2, the 7 is an impossible contract to me!

2 might be Hx, but it might not be. I fail to see how 2 can show four since he rebid 2 instead of 1. Why would 3 show THREE card heart support while 2 doesn't? And who says 7 of anything is good?

 

I think you are trying to blame your partner for something, but I can't figure out what! Sorry, this is all very LOL.

For your information, at my table, we end up to play in 6. Why should I blame my partner? He did nothing wrong.

As to 2 usually honour doubleton heart support, cos sometime, you might hold AQ10762 looking for slam; or AK963 just interest in game, you need to know partner hearts holding: Hx (for slam hand) or xxx 3-small to play in 4.

 

By the way, if we can say Hx with 2, and 2NT for 1-2 card heart, all three level must be 3-card hearts, this is some sort of Adjunct, something similar to Hardy Adjunct after New Minor Forcing.

Probably because the contract makes, but I really have to add +2.

You would never wish to be in 7. If the clubs behave, 7 and 7 make, 7N also makes (and can cope with a bad heart break).

 

Can you get to 7N and would you want to ?

 

Our auction would be 1(4+)-1-2-2(fully artificial)-3(almost certainly 6, 3 good hand)-4(RKCB)-4(0/3)-4(Q)-?

 

Now the question is how optimistic you feel, partner clearly has xxx (he only has 4 hearts and would have used an inverted raise 4-4 in the curly suits by our methods). If you decide to show the Q he'll bid 7N if not he'll bid 6N.
