Help
It depends on who partner is, if you can say that parter doesn't even have a King for his pass over 4♥ with shortness then I guess pass is right, otherwise it is not right in my opinion.

Wouldn't occur to me to pass. I would probably bid five clubs.

Just goes to show that if you get the right teammates, anybody can be a world champion - twice.

Passing misses out on a possible +400 fairly frequently and occasionally misses a +920.
You're vulnerable.

Well, they say it's a bidders game.
I would never pass this hand, but as the only reasonable alternative is 5♣, pass is a pretty good pesimistic bid.

Oh, we're vul and they are NV? Then definitely 5♣. I initially read the other way about when passing might be worth considering.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Bridge should be fun!

I agree with this. Maybe somebody turned the board sideways?

3NT insufficient corrected to 4NT NF is obviously right.
That's what I was thinking... 3NT, wtp? Then I realized it was 4♥, not 3♥. Guess it was good I bid first and think later, right? Now I either get to play 3N, 4N or double off 4♥ for penalty if they accept 3N and re-overcall 4♥.

I think you're not allowed to change an insufficient bid to a X (at least in the ACBL). Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.

I meant that if they accepted my 3N and the 4♥ bidder bid 4♥ again, then I could double for penalty. It does seem you can't correct an insufficient bid to X or XX - only pass or a bid.
