1nt if that is sf as in 2/1.

No, not forcing. Only if it is not passed out then 2♠ would show a hand similar as in 2/1
(I thought 1NT was forcing in 2/1?)

Can I bid 3H invite?

[inquiry]

2♥'s. I am not sure if I will show spade support or not later, depends on how the auction goes.

3♥ would be 4c♠ and a void somewhere. 12-14 pts

Partner will rebid 2♠ if he has no GF hand (less then 15 pts).
What will you rebid: 1♠-2♥-2♠-??

Well gut feeling is to play 4♥ and violate "support w/support." The problem in ♠ is if you have to set up ♥ you may not have an entry to the ♥. In my mind this is making the weak hand declarer to ensure maximal tricks from this hand. Of course if partner has a hard ♣ control the hand may play much better in ♠

I am still bidding hearts. I will rebid 3♥'s. I assume this is strongly invitational, but that partner can pass. If partner rebids 3♠ then I will raise to 4♠, if partner passes, well, I play 3♥'s with spade support. Probably better in hearts than spades if he is both weak and has no ♥ support (like small doubleton or better).

[dake50]

I try 4H to play.
Hope to use partner's entries to elope my small hearts.
If he's maximal, I'll show S-fit -- S:Jxx is about all he can hope for
-- with exclusion 5C if magic happens..

No real story about this hand. I really wondered what the best bid was before deciding to bid 4♥.
4♥+2, but this was not a good score because 4♠ made +3.

[hotShot]

I want to play ♠.
I can ruff partners small ♣ and partner can drop lots of his loser on my ♥ suit that should be easy to develop as it is lead by AK.

I bid 4♣ if our system allows to splinter with a void, if partner can bid a ♦ control we can investigate slam, otherwise I'll settle for 4♠.

[Free]

I'd definitely want to play in ♠ to ruff ♣s in the short hand, but I'll introduce my ♥ just in case we have slam. 1♠-2♥-2♠-4♠.

[Fluffy]

It would be ok to bid 1♠-4♥ with ♠Jxx ♥KQJxxxx, however ♥AKxxxxx is very different, it works very well as a side suit, no need to be trumps.
