Having trouble imaging a call other than 4♥

BTW, didn't notice until a moment ago that you're from Koln.
Koln always was my favorite city in all of Germany.

Kolsch is almost undrinkable and the dialect is incomprehensible, however, the city and the people are lovely and the Cathedral is unbelievable.

(There used to be these little stalls down by the Cathedral that sold the world's best potatoe pancakes... Are they still there?)

Hm, not much in the way of stalls near the cathedral nowadays. Do drop me a line if you ever come back to the area though. ;)

This posting is mainly a sanity check for me (yes, I bid 4♥), but I thought it might also be instructive for beginners.

a weird alternative may be to pass but that is masterminding when partner can have a powerhouse you may have to decide what to do over 4♠ passed back around to you. This is when you wished you had passed 3♠ as it is only -170 :)

The odd alternative may be 5♥, of course, but then you would be preempting the preempt.

You would also be showing a slam try and deny a spade control, when in fact you don't have a slam try but do have a spade control.
