Real deal

Here's an actual deal. Notice Felicity's skull-and-crossbones coasters.



I'll diagram it out for you:

North
♠ Q 9 7 4
♥ K Q 10 8 5
♦ A Q 8
♣ 7
West
♠ J 8 3 2
♥ A 7 4
♦ 7 4 2
♣ 6 5 4
East
♠ 6 5
♥ 9 6 3
♦ K 10 9 5
♣ K Q J 3
South
♠ A K 10
♥ J 2
♦ J 6 3
♣ A 10 8 6 2


South (me) dealt. We played the hand twice, out of curiosity. I don't remember the exact bidding sequences -- Matos might -- but the first time South bid 4S and made two overtricks, and the second time South bid 3NT and made two overtricks, I seem to recall. How would you have bid it?

Matos interjects: I do remember the exact bidding sequence--or more accurately, I wrote it down.

First time around:
S: 1C
W: Pass
N: 1H
E: Pass
S: 1S
W: Pass
N: 2D
E: Pass
S: 2NT
All pass. N-S made 5.

Second time:
S: 1C
W: Pass
N: 2H
E: Pass
S: 2S
W: Pass
N: 4S
All pass. N-S made 6.
