I would have bid 3♥ the first time, second choice 2♣.
On the second round I think 3♠ is enough because game could well have no play and it's easy for them to double if things lie badly. Partner is also allowed to be aggressive.

1- I would also bid 3♥ previous round
2-Having bid 2♥ i would now bid where i live and bid 3♣. I think it is still too early to commit on spades and we are at 2 level only.

Fit showing. Both of us usually play a strong club system and I typically use that for a WJS, but we just filled out 2/1 card that morning.

Whether to rebid 2♥ or 3♥ on this hand seems to be to be more about agreements than anything else, plus how you evaluate a singleton king in partner's suit. In any case, once you go with 2♥, it is difficult to imagine a better hand for 3♣. Maximum, values in clubs, help in spades. Seems like a perfect description.

I prefer a better suit to bid 3H at my second turn and this stiff K does little really. 2C sparked some interest for me but assume partner now bid 2H, how much better off are you? Repeating hearts leaves me well placed should there be any more bidding.
When partner rebids S I raise, if he can't bid game I may be quite pleased, if he can I sure have what he needs. Close to taking the shot with 4S but I think being conservative here is prudent.

It is very interesting to see what other people bid here. For me I would bid a simple 2♥ ( I think that 3♥ conveys 7 with 13+ points) and 2NT after partners spade bidding. I really do not know what else could be done. Any tips?
