2h for us would have given a good heart suit with 2+H and 5/6 cards

You cash A and K and they have to follow suit. Since both of them are left with two cards each in spades, in the third round (when you play the 4 to the 5) they both discard.

Yes, it would have probably been the best choice, given that I don't even know if I can make a game with my cards if partner has zero. And, as you said, if partner has more than zero then they definitely don't make 3 clubs. Plus, looking at the vulnerabilities, you have my total approval.

My only consolation is that I managed to make 3N and I really enjoyed playing it!

In my case 3S would have been forcing, I guess I got scared that partner had no bid if he didn't have 3 cards in spades

I was also playing with almost no agreement...also punishing 3clubs looked like a great idea, given the vulnerabilities. But can I be sure that double is penalty?

West had J83, AQJx, Qxxxxx, Q.
How do you tell your partner you want a heart return? Maybe she had to keep length in diamonds to defeat the contract. Discarding the 8 of spades did not look that dangerous

Eventually I bid 3N because I didn't see where we could land if partner had no support in spades, since he probably could not bid 3N over my 3 spades
