2H. 3H would show a better hand. I'll bid 3H next round if allowed.

I can live with 2♥ or 3♥ which for us shows 6 and a half to 7 playing tricks and is more limited at the top end than it is for most people.

2H is fine. I will compete to 3 if allowed.

Yes and 2H. For us, jumps to 3 are sound. We also tend to respond very light.

Open (WTP) and 2♥ since I'd not play 3♥ as preemptive here after opening, in spite of RHO's X.

I saw 4H at 2 tables in the "A" and I thought It was really loony.

Responder hand was

and 4H goes down on a club lead.

:P Imo, the posters are correct. Open with one♥, and then bid 2♥ over the double. So, you end up in 4♥. This is a very high percentage game. You have only four possible losers and potential discards on dummy's spades given time. A lot has to go wrong for you to go down. Rough estimate of the probabilities:
1. Club opening lead - 50%
2. Club ace with RHO - 80%
3. Heart king with LHO - 60%
4. Heart king with RHO four times - 5%
5. Spades misbehave - 25%
Figuring all of these combined chances is a bit of a Bayesian mess (e.g. the location of the club ace and the probability of a club lead are interconnected), but you gotta figure you are roughly 2 to 1 to make 4♥. It's a bidders' game. Not being in 4♥ is an error.

I think a number of people would just open 4♥.
