imho imo shows you think you are more sure your opinion is right. I think.....

Aaaaaaaaaah, I also didn't know exactly what the "H" meant, thought it was "In My Honest Opinion" or something similar

Now back to the topic

I think you solve the whole problem by mostly common sense. My pd's, thank God, don't bid 2♥ with 3 and 4 ♠'s, so I don't have that problem. So now the question, somewhat, is what 3♠ means or should mean. I play it as showing a max hand for my 2♥ bid and nice ♠ control. So now I need to find out about pd's other cards, so I will bid just 4♣ as cuebid for ♥, if pd can't bid 4♦ I am signing off in 4♥. He just needs to many perfect cards for me, and he can still have them. If pd holds the A ♠ AQ ♥ and K ♣ and something like J10♦ I am sure he will bid 4 ♠ after I sign of.

to me the whole point of this hand is responder's 2♠ bid after opener has supported with 2♥... whether you play kokish or some other game try, responder must be saying he has 5 hearts to even make the try... this is the advantage of playing such conventions... there are also disadvantages, to be sure (misho pointed out one, but there are others), but all conventions gain and lose somewhere

i agree with mike that bidding 2♥ with 3 cards, bypassing a 4 card ♠ suit, is something that probably shouldn't be done.. therefore the 3♠ bid should show a help suit (or short suit)...
