After 2NT. Since 1H maybe four you do not raise to 3H with only three. However 2NT shows 15+ with four or five hearts. Responder can now bid 3H to offer opener a choice of games.

Would be the auction here when west has only four hearts.
In ACOL, west could have a 5 card heart suit so east should bid 3♥ to check on this.
ReplyDeleteShould the 3h bid come as a direct response to the opening bid (instead of 2d), or after the 2nt bid?
