Your call?

What if instead the auction was P - 2♥ - P to you?

I'll try 3nt over 1h.

3nt was the bid at our table over the given auction.

At the other table W passed and N opened 2♥ and E passed and S bid 2nt (feature) and heard 3♥, your decision with that auction as S?

If 2C is forcing over 1H I'd choose that. Personally I always play new suits NF so I would not have had that option and would just bid 3N.

For us new suits after an overcall below 2 of the opener's suit are F1 by UPH, so 2♣ would have been forcing.

After pass-2♥-pass, I'd put dummy down. Even opposite a complete maximum we're likely to lose two aces and two trumps.

we need to downgrade our hand some due to
probable misfit. I would bid 2n. This leaves
us with a bit more latitude since we can pass
3h if p bids it and be a ton happier if p bids
4h.

16 opposite 10 in a misfit hand doesnt produce game
often especially when the opps strength is generally
behind our 16. bidding 2n at least aks for a tad extra
from p before proceeding to game.
