P opened with 1D holding 20 HCP and sgl H. I held 3 HCP and 7 hearts, headed by Q, J, T, 9, xxx. I WJS 3H. P rebid 3N. I passed. P said she was asking for a feature. (Huh?) and was annoyed saying I should’ve rebid 4H. (No one vul)

1. Should I have bid at all?
2. Since when does 3N after a 3-level WJS ask for a feature?
3. Should P have gone 4H - “the one who knows goes” - knowing a Golden Fit, having double stoppers in all the other suits.

Thank you.

Hi,

#1 If you have agreed to play WJS, a WJS is certainly ok, but assuming 2H would be a WJS as well, 2H is better
the 7th card compensates for the missing HCP
#2 3NT is certainly to play
#3 The question is, if he should have made the game bid at all, ..., the single is not an asset,
but given that you have a 7 carder you should most likely have bid / corrected to 4H, you have no entry,
the tricks your hand provides are only existing, if heart is trumps.
