A couple of people have hit both sides of one issue that I don't get.  How, precisely, does one get to 3NT?  I agree with pclayton.  There is no auction to 3NT.  3NT might be bid along the way, of course.  By partner.  He is so cute when he does that.

I've counted the posts that mention 3NT, and there are only two, so I suppose I'm one of the couple of people. I didn't actually say we'd play in 3NT - I'd convert it to 4♥, but that wouldn't help much opposite some 3244 14-count like Qxx Qx AQxx A10xx.

Well, a "couple" is "two," unless you are from Texas.

Is 2 ♥ unconditionally forcing?If not, what is the advancer's minimum requirement to bid on when he has ♥ support (say 3 cards ) and when he does not have ♥ support?Will he bid 4 card ♠ in either case?Or will he assume overcaller doesn't have 4 card ♠ because overcaller didn't dbl?

Pass, but it is close, and I may bid 2H sometimes,
... if I do I wont feel comfortable until the auction
finished, but it would not be for the first time.

With kind regards
