Me 3 for 4.

Sorry that wasn't clear. I translate as ' I will be the third vote for 4♥'.

4♥ bid what you think you can make ! Opener should have no less than 4♠ and 3♥'s so ♥ looks best to me. I won't muddy the waters with any Q bids and just put the do we bid 5♦ or not question to the opps quickly.

I don't expect PD to have a hand too good to overcall 2♣ when I hold 8 HCP and both opps bid routinely. I don't expect a slam either with my mediocre holding.

4♥ but don't delude yourself this will end your problems. Our NV opponents will probably save at these colors, and we'll have to deal with that later. We also might have a slam opposite the right non-minimum.

4♥ doesn't set up a forcing pass for me, and I'd rather have that available. Yet, I can't bring myself to bid 3♦ or 4♦.

FWIW I certainly intend to double if they bid on. Even 4♥ may have been down, and when they are w/r they will save on anything so I'm very confident doubling them.
