Your third bid strikes me as very dangerous, given your partner's level of knowledge & experience.

This board was after our disaster in board 23. :) I felt confident that she would not pass 4♥ this time.

I would bid 3♠ instead of 4♥ maybe, but my general plan was the same, hope that he cues clubs somehow.

I suspect this is not very helpful for you but:-

1♠ = 5+, limited to 17
... - 3♣ = 4+ spades, GF
3♥ = extras with side shortage
... - 3♠ = where?
3NT = hearts
... - 4♣ = club control?
4♠ = no

As Fluffy says it looks like the core of this hand is identifying the club position, either explicitly as in my (denial cue/asking bid) methods, or implictly as with standard cue bidding.
