I really don't know why I bid 3NT at the table. But I have a reasonable excuse as to why I thought 4NT was keycard: usually I am the guy who takes 4NT as quantitative/to play to the horrors of my partner (not this one but my partners in general) and so I really really wanted this 4NT to be keycard and thought that p would take it as such. Now that I reread this sentence I realize that it is not really a reasonable excuse, but I wanted to show kfay that he is not alone (in writing completely indecipherable posts).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Anyway 4NT made 5 and we lost only 10 across-the-field imps on this board.

3NT was so horrible, don't have the words to describe it.

Yep. South clearly should have chosen 3♦. Even though North was a little pushy with 3♣ most of the blame goes to South.

I most probably wouldn't have rebid 3♣ with the north hand, but I'd not fault anyone for making it - it's mostly a style question IMO.

Rebidding 3NT is bad, 4NT worse - 4NT is definitely to play.
Kind regards,
Harald
