Opponents are World Class if that matters to you.
You are playing lebensohl in this situation so 3H would show values. Let partner out below game or blast?

I think my cards are too well situated and shape too good to make partner guess, and as there is a bonus for game I'm bidding it.

I would only bid 3♥

[mikegill]

Allright, well, let me phrase this question another way. I wanted to see if people thought this was an obvious 4♥ bid (I do), but that doesn't seem to be generating much interest. At the table, I was faced with an ethical problem on this hand. Partner asked at least 1 minute of questions about the 2C bid and subsequent followups, making it completely obvious he held a "good" hand (whatever that means in this context). So, is this obvious enough to bid game anyway, given your UI?
