With 15 in aces and kings North should drive to gave after an overcall.

Playing with a decent partner I would bid 4H in North over 3H to let partner select the game he would like to play (Actually 5C) - But this is probably to difficult for most, so 4D to show 5-4 and forcing is fine

You would have to write why 4H cannot mean "Limit raise or better" for hearts.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

After partners overcall and some bidding, that denies support like the double in north, a cuebid no longer shows support, but either ask for stopper for 3N or ask partner where to play.

It is a common error in GIB, that it thinks that most cuebids are showing support.

So 4H cannot show a good hand with spade support as that hand would bid 3H the first time.

[EdwardPiwowar]

You'd like something like that, but it's too risky for now.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

Yes, but you could also just double again, and raise partners 4Mi to 5Mi. Bidding 3D just looks wrong

[ThePokerDude]

8137 is too dependent on opponent's bidding. Small deviations lead to extremly different evaluations (part score, game, slam)

[EdwardPiwowar]

Yes, opponents' bidding may have a strong impact on the contract achieved, especially if the bid is inconsistent with CC. Next BBA
