4♥. I briefly wanted to be a hand hog and bid 3nt, but if I do, I am not getting to dummy to run the suit.

If you are my partner, please never tell me "I play the rule of (insert #)"

2N looking to resolve partners strength and shape if max. You could be slamming in 6N.

My regular partner has a tendency to over sound pre-empts, especially getting a positive feature in clubs
I made 3NT+3 but a few gambled on one of two (edit correction 4) possible slams (one a grand)
I did consider trying for slam myself
EDIT 2 4 hearts is fine but 3NT slightly better

Not for the Rule of 20ers
Make it Qxx♣ if it offends your sensibilities

On the actual hand 6♦ looks to need little more than a 3-2 diamond break, but is very difficult to get to.
We have the agreement that in first and third we don't open a weak 2 (multi actually) with 2 aces, so the choice is P or 1♥ and it's close.

Depends on your 2N sequence.
With one partner I play
3♣ 6♥(331), 26(32) max.
.. 3♦ <Shortage?>
.... 3N 1633
