It depends on what you mean by "expert"

With real expert oppo I would bid 4♥ without hesitation, expecting 3♠ to make

With bbo-expert oppo I would double, expecting 3♠xx to go 5 down

No, seriously tho, it all depends on my partnership agreement to the meaning of 2♥. This should show a decent Heart suit in a hand worth 10-11 points, so game is still possible (especially if the 3♠ bid shows a weak hand with 4+ card support)

4♥... No need for me to get too fancy. Double isn't bad, but I think that 4♥ rates to make most of the time, and 3♠ may only be -1 or -2.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

The 3S bid made your hand really really good as it would most likely mean partner has 0-1 spades. Thank your opponents for it. Bid a confident 4H expecting it to make.
