Board 4 All red West starts with a 4h preempt. What bewilders me is how north with only 12 hcp and vulnerable can make a takeout double at such a high level. I can see a double of 1 or 2 or even 3 hearts but 4? Text books seem to suggest that much more high card strength is required at this level and vulnerability. If east has an opening bid I would think a penalty double is going to produce higher dividends in the long run. In this case east has only 2 hcp. If I may I suggest, please include a hand where west and north have the same hand but east has a full opener with heart shortage. Carnage? What I am alluding to is that I think north should pass and leave it up to south to balance. I'll take a 2nd look at your lesson on dealing with preempts. (Purchased some time ago)
On board 5, if the bidding starts 1S - 3C - 4C - 5C back to North. Is it reasonable to bid 5S thinking partner could have both minors controlled for the cue bid and we might be missing a slam ? If South just bids 4S then N going 5 does seem a bad idea as you said but not sure if south shows slam interest.
