I must read the question more carefully.
Partner did not hesitate over 2H.
He hesitated earlier over 1N.
I thought it was the other way round.
The UI from the hesitation is that partner has a strong hand, not
2-suited or single-suited.
As Richard Hills says, the important point is that partner's hesitation
makes it less likely that opponents have made a mistake by grossly
underbidding. If you protect, opponents are unlikely to wake up and bid
a making game or slam.
The AI from partner's pass of 2 hearts is that he does not have a void,
singleton or doubleton heart.
IMO, however, this still means that.
- X/bid is suggested by the UI.
- Pass is not suggested by the UI.
