IMO this hand is too strong for a direct 4♠.

In case you play in this sequence 4♦ as "fit-jump" - promising 4+ ♠, good ♦-suit and high offense-defense-ratio - then this would be my choice.
Lacking this I would go for 4♥: slam interest, either with a strong hand or with ♠-support.

I would force to game over 1♠ - pass so 4♥ it is.

4♦ is not a jump. :P

Since we're a passed hand, 4♦ can't be anything else than a "fit-non-jump" showing a ♦ with a ♠ fit (otherwise we'd open a number of ♦ before). If partner doesn't understand this, he has a lot to learn, and this may be a good example. :)

I like the fit non-jump take, especially as partner has room over 4♦ to bid 4♥ as another push.

I require two of the top three for my fit-jumps (and -non-jumps), so that leaves it as a coin toss between a light 4H and a heavy 4S. If you have less strict requirements for 4D, by all means bid that.

Hi,

I prefer 4H, since this takes away a 4H raise.

With kind regards

4♦, they already explained why.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

4H looks better than 4D, even if we play that as fit non jump.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
