Help
My teammates had this hand on BBO and bid it this way and got into a heated argument.
Personally I liked 3C (this hand is very good and very suitable for hearts), and didn't like 3N (I would just bid 3D). As others have mentioned 3N is still a good contract and was unlucky to go down.

I would bid 3♦ with north, and south would pattern out with 3♥ to get to the major contract.
At my table, partner bid 3♦, and that's where we played. I may have been pessimistic, but I think there are many 15-16 hcp hands for 3♦ where no game has play.
Over 3♣ I would also bid 3♦. I am not sure how this makes 3♣ and artificial bid. I also don't understand how QTxx is a a likely double stopper. I would say its a good stopper opposite xx but a bad one opposite x.
Maybe you should stop jumping with 15-16 HCP hands? Then pd won´t pass your jump rebids any more with his decent 7 HCPs bagger.
I think it is fairly normal to jump to 3 with 15-16 hcp and a good suit (of course it can be stronger too).
Otherwise, 1♦-1x-2♦ has a range of 10-16 hcp.
The easiest way to count losers is to line up the people who talk about loser count, and count them. -Kieran Dyke

4♥ is a very bad contract.
when west has a key card ♥--q,no way to make if E-W defense corecetly,unless a good luck.
for example,weat take ♥ q,back a small ♠,east proceed ♠x,now,can not make 4♥ .

At the other table where they did jump to 3D, the player passed, which I thought was normal (but probably not normal to people who view this as a routine 3D bid and have a higher upper limit).
