I can live with the 3H bid. What I cannot live with is pulling 3NT to 4C. This is such an abrogation of partnership discipline that I am surprised to see you write this

Its hard to say because it doesn't happen kinda often, how many times have you bid 3NT after partner preempts based on your own tricks, and not partners?


I've seen that a couple of times, but that's all, 95% of the time partner think you have a souce of tricks.

I pulled once 3NT with Qxxxxxxx and it worked out quite well.

I bid 3C, but I won't pull partner's 3N. If partner has, say, ♣Ax expecting to run my club suit, I have 2 outside kings which might provide an entry. Otherwise, I have 2 outside kings to help partner with.

Agree with this. Its very possible this suit may run with a little length in pard's hand. No reason to pull 3N.
