MPs, nobody vul

1♣-1♥
2NT-3NT
??


2NT 18-19 balanced forcing unless 1♥ was subminimum
3NT tends to deny 5 heart or 4 spades

I'll pass too. Partner may have ruffing values, but either way he's going to need tricks in side suits to get game to make, and 3NT is probably easier. If both games make on the nose, oh well (I suck at these MP decisions).

pass. I decided to suppress my heart support on the last round because I felt NT was the best description of my hand, I'm not going to overrule myself now. The question on whether the 2N rebid was best is something entirely different.

Given the methods, we haven't yet decide whether to suppress the heart support. Presumably the systemic way to show a balanced raise to 4♥ is 2NT followed by 4♥.

I wouldn't suppress the heart support. Partner can easily have a doubleton or even a singleton in a minor.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Partner would ask for 4-card support if he had a doubleton?
