All white imps. My RHO starts with a pass
I have QTxxx AKx xx xxx
P P 1D 1N
2C X 2H 2S
4H ?
2C is alerted as Stayman. My X is coincidentally Stayman and is the prelude to making a game invitation in spades. Partner surprises me with 2S and RHO again with 4H. I was going to bid 4S before hearing 4H. Should I now or should I just hit 4H?

I would double. It's hard to know exactly what is going on but we are very likely to get at least 300 if 4♠ is making and it may very well be better than that.

4♠ - no wastage, minor finesses are on.
Someone is kidding here - I hope it isn't my pard.

With all this bidding by the opponents, they seem to have a several black singletons and a source of tricks in diamonds. I would bid 4♠.

Maybe too simplistic, but trying to make everything fit...
LHO: 11HCP, 0454
Pard:15HCP, 42(43)
RHO: 5HCP, 44(23)
you: 9HCP, 5323
On defense I'd expect 2H, 3m; could easily be another trick in the wash.
On offense I'd expect to take 2H, 1Hruff, 3m... we could probably work out ruffing finesses to make 4♠, but it's not clear.
Defend!

4♠, if partner was kidding he wouldn't have bid again. As it is, I think this is a 100% obvious 4♠ call.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

4♠ -- known 9 card fit. Yes they are supposed have only 8 trumps, but pard may have bid a slightly off shape NT and they have very well have a double fit..

4♠ seems like a no-brainer to me.
