Last board of a TM, which strain are you playing in if:
a ) you feel it's fairly close
b ) you feel -1100 on a previous board didn't help your side
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

You didn't give enough information about how you achieved the -1100. If it's a good sac vs slam, or if it's a rather normal sac which went completely wrong because of extreme and unexpected distributions, then it doesn't affect my decision. I kind of like 4♠, but I hate the fact that I don't have an entry outside ♠s.

-1100 was a clear 13-15 IMP loss after a bidding miscommunication :) and the auction was too horrible for words

Does this auction mean something special in your system? 3H looks like an impossible bid otherwise, I use it for RKB for spades. I always just xfer and bid 3NT with that hand. Sometimes they run the diamonds, sometimes they don't.

Also for the poster before him:
Because systemically over our 10-13 NT this is how my partner and I bid this hand? It's not like this is the SAYC or 2/1 section. You can assume the bidding up through 3NT is correct since I didn't give you any other options as to how it might be bid. We don't have transfers available and 2♥ is NF, if you must know.
