We would start with Stayman, if partner shows hearts I splinter 3 playing standard methods (xxx, Jxxx, Ax, Axxx is a good slam). We don't play 2 followed by 3 forcing, if you do then that is also good.

If partner either denies 4M or shows spades, am I going to force to game ? That's an interesting decision.

We are going to game, I will check for 4 hearts on the way.

Scoring and vulnerability?

Introduce your partner to transfers ��and tell him you’ll bid 4cd majors up the line
