LEARNING CENTER

1. Not strong enough to double and then bid spades. Yes, it is in the range for 1NT (15-17), but you don't have the opponents' suit stopped.

4. For his cuebid after your overcall, partner promises spade support and at least a limit raise. With your nice 15, you accept and go to the spade game.

Other. Win, draw trump (they are 3-1), cash all the diamonds ending in hand and then play the J. If it is covered, you lose only one heart trick. If it isn't covered, play low from dummy and East will win and be endplayed (will have to play either another heart or give you a ruff-and-sluff). The full deal is below. If you struggled with the explanation, I suggest the webinar from a few weeks ago.
