This is one of those questions that asks not what you should bid but asks what agreements you have or should have.


I agree with the second Ken. I've played that to raise on 3 you need a singleton, or that you always raise with 3-card support in a 4432 shape, and various in-between styles. I prefer an approach that allows me use my judgement on balanced hands. In that style, this would be an obvious raise.
... 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

I voted for 1NT, but I find 2♥ to be just as good. It's a choice between 1) advertising to your opponents that they should lead spades, or 2) having to make one more trick in a possible 4-3 fit. Pick your poison.

With an unknown/inexperienced partner I prefer 1NT. Game isn't very likely, and I don't want to give him a chance to jump to 4♥ with 11 points and 3-4-3-3.
