Choice of games? Partner has a game force in hearts, we have 4 card support, and never telling him we have support is an option?
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Yes, correct to hearts. But was there no way in your methods to raise hearts last round?

Good question. A king and four hearts, I would have found a way to raise to 3H.

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

One more vote for 4H immediately over 2H.

Thank you, all. Everyone else seems to play 3N more often than I do, so I wanted to see what others said before registering this GIB oddity.

I thought that most experts played a single raise to be stronger than a jump to game in this sequence.

If 2♦ is waiting, then a 2nd round 3♥ bid by responder can still be reasonably unlimited

To a lot of people, holding an ace or a king opposite a 2C opener means you don't show "second negative" and don't jump-raise a major. Those who play 2H artificial and negative/2C will not have as much as a king.

Others just go on point count.

We have a 9 card heart fit? So why should we play 3NT?

I would have called 4♥ over 2♥ based on an apparently out of fashion fast arrival principle and as a consequence I think conversion to 4♥ is right as well.
