Partner 1Nt rebid is always balanced 12-14. Bidding 2H seems painful and youre against a strong pair.
In the 2nd case youre estimate is 50%-52 and might feel the need to swing a bit because its will be won in the 60% with 6 board to play.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

We are all connected to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically, and to the rest of the universe atomically.
We're in the universe, and the universe is in us.

4♣ to catter with partner having a strong 2461, not that unlikelly. AQ9xx is not a bad side suit after all. But even then partner should have a spade honnor, so 4♠ will be at least ok.
With Minors reversed I'd think of bidding just 3♠.

and Ive double. LHO know that -200 is a bad score so he will always have good hand for the double and he should have a good hearts for the pass and balance.
Rho did well to bid 2H (i would have been tempted by 2C) . Considering the state of the tourney i still agree with my double but its not 100% clear.

IMHO LHO is too weak to reopen its just too dangerous. I play that double show a strong Nt hand but since RHO didnt pass ive assume that they reopen with less pts more shape (4441,come to mind). Im also not sure if we were white or red but if the X show a strong nt RHO must pass and be happy to get +100 even if +110 is possible.
