We play mixed cues.

(eta 3 description cut off: since S's 3D showed a card, it looks a lot like a slam-seeking bid, in which case 3 makes sense as a cue. But a 4-3 fit could be our best game, so perhaps opener's 3 should be patterning, showing 3 cards in the suit?)

I'm not sure there's any blame here since there's not much room for anyone to have bid differently, but S said the undisclosed Q made the slam playable - without it (eg with Q instead), on a lead, he struggled to see how he'd pitch the S loser given N's missing KC. Even with it, slam looked a long way from laydown N didn't disagree, felt he'd made a bunch of systemic bids describing his hand, which S also agreed with, with the conceivable exception of 3H. So - blame? Bad luck?
