North deals and holds:
S A 10
H K
D A K Q J 10 9 x x
C A Q
the bidding:
2 C pass 2 H pass
3 D pass 4 C pass
7 D pass pass pass
spade lead
dummy lays down:
S 5
H Q 10 9 7 3
D 6 5
C J 8 7 5 2
In our system the 2 heart bid shows at least one ace and a 5 card heart suit.
down two the other table bids 6 diamonds and goes down two.
I would rather play 12 point pitch.

"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"
"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

In that case he would probably have bid 3♥ at his second turn. Or maybe pass, or 3NT. In any case his 4♣ bid shows that he intended his 2♥ bid as natural.

Not in face to face bridge. It might also mean partner's lack of alert woke him up.

On a trump lead you can just ruff a spade and take the club finesse instead of gambling the A♥ and remaining trump are in different hands, if that loses and the second club gets ruffed, that's -2 so either route can be -2.
