1♠ , if partner passes and I get another bid 2♥.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Bridge should be fun!

1♠. I have 'only' 17 but this sort of smells like mis-fit.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Double I have no problem bidding 2♠ over 2♣ and 3NT over 3♣ if partner starts with that

1♠.
Swap the minors and I double.
Double and bid with this poor spade suit is not very attractive especially when partner might jump to 3♣ or worse compete to 3♣ over a 2♦ raise.

The bidding:
(1♦)-1♠-(2♣)-Pass
(Pass)-DBL-(Pass)-2♥
(3♦)-DBL-(Pass)-3♥
All Pass
I was sitting North and I'm not used to 'heavy' overcalls. With my previous partner the max he would have was like 16 pts. I should have bid 4 ♥ anyway (Partners 1st DBL is promising a 4 card ♥?).
Q: Is an advantage of starting with 1♠ not that it is easier to show 4 card ♥ if partner is weak (...1♠...DBL.. versus ...DBL...1♠....) or is that not important?
Edited: Added 3D bid

There is something wrong with you auction.
Partner doubled your 2♥ bid.
At any rate having bid hearts I don't see the point in your partner doubling again he can just make a quantitative raise.

if partner doubles my 2♥ bid, I pass and hope for +470. If he invites me in any way, I definitely accept since I promised him 0 but in fact I have QJxxxx and 6-4.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

1 Spade for sure
Am I the only one, who would prefer a simple 2 Heart instead of a double of 2 ♣?
And what about 3 heart instead of the double of 3 diamond?

Well, I double originally. For me, at MP, this is too strong, given that I play quite cheeky 1♠ overcalls at that form of scoring.

I also overcall light, but this is still a clear 1♠ overcall for me.

The 2nd double is problematic, do you really want to defend
3D with a known fit?
I prefer 3H to the double, I am not sure, I would raise 3H to
4H, but at least you have a chance.
In the current auction you only know, that partner is broke
and has 5 or 6 hearts, may be enough for 4H.
