1- i wouldnt overcall.

2- i think 1Nt is a clear mistake. Not strong enough and the hand could easily play better elsewhere.

3- I would put you down -3 for -800 (all you have to do is give count in clubs so that north can hold up in clubs)

Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

A 1H overcall is totally obvious. I can't believe anyone would pass.

Eh, bridge is about risk. Sometimes you get stung. Often, -800 scores against air result in a push.

After taking three spades, three diamonds and two clubs, one of the defenders is on lead. Which suit would you like them to play?

You have to finesse clubs at trick 2 wich is a bit double-dummy.

Having bid 1NT, after my RHO doubled I would bid 2♥. On the actual hand this looks like -1, or, more likely, the opponents playing 2♠.

And everyone would overcall 1♥ at the table, saying anything else is resulting.
