Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

We have shortness in hearts, our long suit is headed by queen-empty, and we have KTx sitting under the club bidder, giving us effectively a flat 7 count. Why on earth would we bid?

Not hard to see how slam could make but this is just not enough.

preempts work

p has shown very good hearts and even though my douleton is not
a detriment p was under some pressure after the 3c bid. It is entirely
possible that p has a ton of decent hearts and not much else and
making any move past 4h is turning a postive into a negative. The
risk vs reward for moving beyond 4h seems unreasonable when
looked at that way

I like my hand. Slam could very well be cold on some layouts. But there is no way to know, and it is too dangerous to take any action other than pass.

On a bad day, even 4♥ could fail.
