I'll go with 4H at these colors.

I think 4♥ is obvious under these conditions. If they were going down or I go down too much....oops.

Action? Sure, I will ponder, scratch my head, pick up the 4♥ card, put it back before anyone could see it, and finally pass. I am sure this is the only way to make partner lead his shorter major without doubling.

I'll bid, though this is clearly a rather risky proposition.

I prefer Arend's method, but on BBO there is no such option B)

4♥ :(

4♥ is normal. It would a tougher decision with a 6 card suit instead of 7.

Wow, almost unanimous, and against what I did (but I had some match-circumstances, namelly my partner had been dummy last 4/6 boards)

4♥ = +4 IMPs
pass = +1 IMPs
double = -8 IMPs

I would bid 4♥. Pass is certainly the only other option.

Did you really double? Is that why it is an option? That is quite a position to take.

double (lead your shortest major) is certainly the best shot to defeat the contract, but I was a passer anyway.

Lol, I was the doubler :P I'm really surprised that there's such an overwhelming group bidding 4♥...
