I'm not at the nationals, these hands were sent to me by a friend.

Pass at IMPs. Partner tried to sign off in game even after I jump-shifted. I have no way to determine whether we're off the ♦A. At MP, I might bid 6♥, but probably not.

Partner has denied an ace so the only question is whether to play in six hearts. I suspect that this is the right thing to do at matchpoints.

Partner held J632 V AKQ82 JT43, south raised 6♣ to 7 and didn't drop the K.

A bit heavy for 3NT, assuming 3C was gf, showing 19+, with 31+HCP and a fit,
why settle for 3NT, which may fail, when 6C makes.

P failure to bid 4d over 4c will keep me out of 7.
My hearts are so good that at MP I will convert to
6H expecting a top board at least 62% (and
probably 83%+) of the time.

At IMPS that same 62% isnt a sufficient reward to make
up for the large loss of IMPS when we fail to make.
We know there is a very strong chance p has at least
1 heart (which increases our chances at 6h to 83%)
but +2/3 imps for being in 6h is a ton less exciting
than -14 imps is damaging to the partnership stay
put in 6c.
