I've heard others say that partner should bid 4D over 3H. I'm not sure I believe it. Do people bid 3 small before they rebid there solid 6-card suit?


No obviously not. If it goes 3H-4C-4D then we can bid 4H safely at least. I think in retrospect you might have been able to envision the position you put partner in with a good hand and no major suit controls.

We're not playing this game in a vacuum.
1♦ - (2♦) - 3♣ - (p)
3♥ - (p) - 4♦ - (p)

This auction isn't the same as
1♦ - (p) - 2♣ - (p)
2♥ - (p) - 3♣ - (p)

In the first auction one opponent has shown 9 or 10+ majors. The likelihood that opener is bidding hearts with a suit is small. Opener has a 6-card diamond suit quite often and would like to know about your three card support. In the second auction he's showing 4=5 in hearts and diamonds.
