I recently had this hand, called an unusual 2NT (Im not very experienced using it) and ended in 5 Diamonds rather than a part score which would have been preferable. The reason being that North cue bid hearts rather than simply bidding their best minor - playing IMPs
What do you think the pros and cons are given that the 3rd level major cue bid leaves very little room to decide on a part score, possible 3NT or possible minor game
I didnt really want to bid to game, although it only went one down, and certainly didnt want to bid 3NT (I thought about it). 3NT goes down a few tricks
I felt on reflection that both the 2NT and the 3H cue bid used up far too much space before we even knew we had a likely part score or minor game, and no room to be sure of chancing a 3NT game
