I agree with bidding a black suit at the 4 level but...

Thanks for reporting it.

The problem was this hand was too strong to bid 3♠ ( major first ) and too short to bid 4♠ ( needed 5+ cards ).


If N/S weren't vulnerable that hand would have overcall 3♣ instantly.

Will be addressed about better solution ( or reducing length in major to bid game ).

Sorry, this response makes no sense. How can N be "too strong" to bid 3S yet bid 4C, which is also a minimum advance promising no strength?
