3S, an overbid.
The alternative is 3H an underbid.
You would like to have an inv. raise
for hearts.
With kind regards

What would an X followed by correcting a 3♦ to hearts be read as?

I would bid 3♠. This hand is too likely to play better in spades than hearts, and I am willing to make a very small overbid to determine the best strain (which I think is a useful general principle).

3♠ for me as we could easily belong in that suit and I feel we have enough trick taking potential to give game good chances.
I'll bid 4♥ next time if PD replies 4m or 3NT and pass a 4♠ raise from him.
I do think my hand is a minimum GF here. There will be times when we'd struggle to take 9 tricks vs opener's minimums and other times when we take 10 with ease.

I'd expect 4=2 or 5=2 in the majors, non-forcing.
... 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

A heavy 3♥, suggesting an 8-10 raise. I always bid cautiously with the Queen of their suit -- I treat it as a deduction from my offensive strength. They'll usually have something else to compensate for not having it...

I would be much happier after
1 ♥ (3♣) 3 ♥ (5♣)
double pass
then after
1 ♥ (3♣) 3♠ (5 ♣)
double pass
So as much as I agree with the willingness to show my longest suit, I support partner.

I worry that the auction may not remain uncontested. Might not get a chance to bid 3H next round. Anyway, 3S for me.

I don't have defense and opps entered the sacrifice road.
The most important thing to do is tell partner we have a fit.
The advantage of bidding ♠ is small compared to the risk what partner might do over 5♣. Overbidding 3♠ will almost force LHO to bid 5♣. To defend against our game.

One possible other option would be to use 3D as an inv.
raise for hearts.
If you play transfer responses after interventions this
will fit fairly easily.
