I guess I'll continue, and indeed, with 4♦. If partner bids 4♠ I'll bid 5♣. It's all dependent of the ♥ suit, partner never bid anything, so 5m can be safer than 3NT as well.

I'll go on with 4♦ and after 4♠ by pd I will bid 5♣, hopefully pd has all the info now to make a good decision. I am not a big supported of precision for this reason. Trying to find what is going on at a wayyyy to high level.

This hand does not look better for a standard system:

On this auction the problems start one round earlier

1♠ 2♣
3♠ ?

Playing 2/1 you may survive with:

1♠ 2♣
2♠ 3♦
3NT ?

and have essentially the same problem.

I'll bid 4♦ over 3NT and 5♣ over 4S - IMHO 5of minor BETTER bet than 3NT -- and P can correct to 5♦ - or maybe bid minor slam :)
