My 4♥ favorable openings look like x KQxxxxx xxx xx. That is not a normal 4♥ opener, especially favorable.


yes, this looks more like it.

We just picked up 11imp after I bid 4♠ NV vs. V after 1♠ (P) ...

Btw, after 4H (4S) I can’t imagine not bidding 5H as north. In what universe is 4S likely to fail? Bear in mind that even if 4H was a permissible bid for this partnership, surely the vast majority of 4H bids, at favourable, have less defence.

I asked South at the OT about his 4♥ opening bid

“That is a normal 4♥ opener, less than 8.5 tricks when namyats would kick in.”

I don’t have namyats

That is a Namyats for me. It would already be too heavy for 4♥ even not playing Namyats.
Did his partner alert the inference that he did not bid Namyats?
I know ACBL are not on that bandwagon but it seems to me necessary if they did not present a card.

Oh no, another gadget. No wonder the hand evaluation is all over the place.
