MP, Instant, 35

South's explanations are truncated, but a relevant point is that 4H showed, apparently, 21+ TP.

I bid 3D in case partner had unequal length in the majors. It seemed a safe enough call, being well within the described explanation.

I don't know what North was playing at. Even if I did have 21 TP ...

I find it rather concerning you can't seem to play it in hearts. 4H is explained as a cuebid, similarly with the 5H bid.

That Michaels call is a little sickening :/ Two jack-high suits, not even J10? Ugh. And then to take a free bid of 3H as well rather than pass...

I wonder what "Pass" would have shown at North's second turn to call.
