At MP, you hold ♠Q7 ♥KQ96 ♦K9874 ♣62. P-P-1♦ to you. What do you think about a 1♥ overcall?

Warm and fuzzy.

Actually, the pattern is classic, and I would not hesitate in most partnerships at MP, unless red. If sounder style, I'd want the spade to be K, or diamond J also, or some other just-a-tad.

Yea, 1H. Upside to get H-lead, scare off 3NT. Down side small as I'm at the 1-level.

Not much.

1. Our suit is nothing to write home about.

2. I don't think that I automatically want a heart lead against 3N, unless pard can find the lead on his own.

3. I'm not worried about getting hammered here (wait, that was last night) but I don't relish playing a 4-3 with a trump hitting the table.

Give me the heart J or another King and I'll overcall.

I've been overcalling a lot on this kind of hand lately. My experience has been that the results are generally good at NV and lousy at V. So I'll go with "bid 1♥ at NV only."
