David Grabiner:

I suspect that a slow pass by a bunny shows extra values, and also that
bunnies don't know how light they can be to jump after a takeout double.
   Pass by me is not a logical alternative, but 3H and 4H both are, and
the slow pass suggests 4H over 3H, so I bid 3H.

Richard Hills:

Yes, at the table my reasoning duplicated that of David Grabiner, so I bid
3H.

But now North continued with 4D, pass, pass to me. What now?

Best wishes,

Richard Hills
