I am going to hold off on the hand diagram for now, here is my S hand: AQJ, AQxxx, x, 9xxx. The auction has proceeded P, 1C by partner, 1D, 1H by you, 3D raise, P, P back to you.

Here is how possible bids you might consider are described:

4D: 17+, 4+H, 5+C
3S: 13+, 4+S, 4+H
Double: 10+, 2+D, 4+H
4C: 9+, 4+H, 5+C
3H: 11-12, 6+H

I can't think of anything else. Clearly, none fit the hand very well. What's your best guess? ACBL Robot Tournament, MP's.

Double for me

I have only one fewer Diamonds than promised, and if that card makes a difference then I have some values in reserve.

Absent the descriptions, to my mind double is clearly the correct bid
