One novice pair reached 4♥ (against us) when they opened 1♥!
Do you bid differently from below?

Do the novices beat the seasoned? Too passive?

4♥ is not a lock to make (try 2 rounds of clubs and a trump).
I open 1♥ with really big 5-5s (1♥/2♠/3♠ works better than 1♠/3♥/4♥ as a rebid scheme) but not on this
We have a different issue not playing 2/1, but we bid 1♠-2♦-2♥ then E has a problem, but it prob goes 2N-3♥-4♥

Matchpoints we play 2H. Imps? Passing 2H as responder, if vulnerable is not easy
but neither is bidding
.if I bid, it would be 3H, although this is not a great hand for a moysian heart game.
If I pass, partner might hold Axxxx AKxxx Qx x and 4H is basically cold on 3-2 trumps.
If I bid, he might hold AQxxx Kxxx x Kxx.
Bridge can be very hard sometimes🤪
