Red on white pd opens 1st seat with 1♠. 2/1 promises a rebid.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I play the method you describe.

I would treat this hand as too good for 1NT, and therefore take my chances with 2H followed by 3H.

A 2/1 may promise a rebid, but I think you have an easy one.

2♥ may take us too high if it's a misfit and p for some reason doesn't pass 3♥, but I think 1NT is riskier.

I would be more comfortable with a forcing pass followed by 3♥, though. (Edit: sorry this doesn't make sense, the two things mean the same Dunno what I was thinking).

So what you are saying is the correct bid will take us too high if partner misbids later? I have to agree :)

OK so you bid 2♥, followed up by 3♥ over 2♠. Pd bids 3NT. 4♥ or not 4♥?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Definitely 4♥. Opener is top of his minimum range when he didn't pass 3♥. My hand is pretty useless as dummy in 3NT. In 4♥, however, I will often be able to play this suit for one loser opposite a singleton.

If opener has a singleton or void in hearts *and* a minimum, get a new partner. A common mistake is to "save" partner when they have a misfit, especially a void. Don't!

Far too often have I seen opener bid forever because he doesn't like responder's suit. A good player would pass 3♥ without hesitation.

2H, but depends on your partnership,
you should have a line in the sand,
you wont cross.

Remove one of the out side jacks,
and I would go via 1NT.

4H, I have a 7 carder.

The 7th heart made this a 2H bid,
and thats why you have to play 4H,
because your hearts maay not run
and you have no side entry.

PS: And I agree, 3NT shows add. strength or
heart tolerance, and tolerance means 2 cards.

4♥. We have 7 where we might have had 6, and they are pretty good too.
