I learn so much from your videos Bajir. And they're so much fun! Thank you for sharing these great teachers and for being the ultimate questioning learner.
I was taught that bidding the 4th suit showed half a stop and asked partner to bid N.T if he or she also had a half stop but if no half stop make their best alternative bid.
There's always some element of risk, but here the odds seem good for N. S does not like c or h and bids FSF in preference to 2s. N 'knows' S was game points, probably at most 5s 2h and 3c, leaving at least 3d. N can reason that if S has Ace , King or Jack of d then 3nt is on, as W will be on lead and almost certain to lead a d, as was the case here. This all seems very likely given s points.
Thanks Bajir and Graeme. Bajir echoes Graeme’s points which reinforces the concept. Bajir thank you for hosting these videos. Great fun and helpful.

I was also wondering how you bid 3NT without a diamond stopper
