I'm talking about opposite a ToX (where the 4 count is) on the hand you were talking about, Qxxx, x, KQxxx, KQx saying that hand shouldn't raise to 4♦. I was saying why not, and saying the hand I gave makes game.
If she doesn't expect to set 4
♥ and needs me to have two perfectly placed aces to make game, she should sell out to 3
♥.
Otherwise she has to be willing to bid on to 5
♦ without me if her 4
♦ pushes opponents to 4
♥.
Beyond the fact that 4
♦ is my favourite contract, I don't think it's a reasonable gamble to chance -300 to stop -140. I'd expect the room to be in 4
♥ making with that auction and the hand you described her having.
