To paraphrase:
He rebid 3H...second choice was 3nt saying 2nt put partner in a poor position, partner may pass when 3nt makes on running suits and may get doubled when suits do not run.
Opening?

I would have gone with 2NT, but I cannot because for me that would be systemic. So, I'm stuck with 3♥. However, 2♣ has some appeal if allowed for these types of hands.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

I'd open 1♥ and rebid 3♥. 2NT is out since it's a conventional GF in my methods. Besides I don't think a natural 2NT is right with both minors wide open. We'd get to too many 3NT losing the first 5-7 tricks.
If partner rebid 3NT over 3♥ I'm a tad more confident that we'll make. I'm sure we've got enough tricks after either route, but the latter seems to be better regarding opps possiblility to set us before we gain the lead.

1H then 3H. In a bidding challenge, it is a clear 2N rebid though.
The easiest way to count losers is to line up the people who talk about loser count, and count them. -Kieran Dyke

I would bid 1H then 2H. I always love reading the jdonn posts though. 2H with a 6322 15 including Jx does not enter your mind but 2C on Jx with 6 solid hearts does. Awesome.
