In a style where "10HCP would be enough to open 1H with a 6 card suit", I think this is just a normal 3♥.

The only reason I might bid game is that partner may not be able to evaluate his spade holding correctly - he will think that Qx is good and a singleton is bad, whereas the opposite is true.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I promise, when I pressed quote you hadn't deleted your post yet, or at least I didn't realise it.

At matchpoints I would consider a pass, but would bid 3♥'s anyway.

At imps vulnerable, I would not consider a pass. I will bid 3♥ because I want my partner's participation in the final decision.

4H is a big overbid. 3H is certainly enough.

IMPs (Swiss Teams, 8 board matches, last match, table 1).
If it mattters: playing Acol, weak NT, 4 card majors, "majors first". Whatever, partner has shown a minimum opener with 6 hearts, and 10HCP would be enough to open 1H with a 6 card suit.

What I did was wrong: I expect to be told it was obviously wrong. :(
Do the right thing and you win enough IMPs to get the silverware.



3♥.
No, 4♥ is stretching it too much.
