At one table in our match, 2H ended the auction.
At the other table, this hand bid 2S, but then passed partner's 3D bid.

You can debate how good a contract 5D is, but it makes fairly easily.
4H is off on careful defence.

3♦. Maybe an overbid, but at least it's descriptive.

Whether it was right to move on the particular hand, or not, the most important thing is that when I hold fair values - having shown nothing - and my (sane) partner shows a rock, I don't wimp on him.

I always try to tell my partners not to bid my hand - if they show a rock I will come to the party.

For the sake of partnership comity I would always make another bid (almost certainly 3D), with the given hand.

I would consider 2NT as a stall, which should show a S stop (else commits to wrongsiding any 3NT), while 2S cue does not necessarily confirm H for me but could be values with no 2nd suit and only doubleton H... eg same Honour distribution but 3-2-4-4

regards
