If you,bid 3♥ or 4♥,any others? why?

I'm insisting my 8xH be trump.
Having Kxx in partner's bid plus single-single,
my fear is missing 6H.
I'll start 3D transferring to Hearts, then 4C to
alert partner I'm looking up.
Hope he has DAQ and sees CA with HAK is gold.
Maybe even HAx/Kx/QJx.

Is this standard?

I'd bid 4♥.

[gszes]

it is possible that p is short in hearts but it is extremely unlikely
p rates to be short in clubs and has a max if 4 spades so they have
at least 7 cards btn clubs and hearts. I think it is a very reasonable
4h gamble just be prepared to apologize if it doenst work.

It is very unlikley your side will miss 6 since p will know you need some
extraordinary distribution to suddenly ehphazise hearts and not be able
to open with 2h or 3h or even 4h earlier.

I would have opened 1♥ and rebid minimum number of hearts at every opportunity.

Really? Sounds a bit mad but might have worked.

I think having already passed once, the guy with long hearts should have bid 4♥ next time. You can probably make 6♥ but think you'd be doing well to bid that.

Surprised opps aren't bidding again too, with 20 points a 10 card club fit and 8 card spade fit.
