Nice hand for a "Reverse Flannery" type of call. I play with a friend that 2♦ shows a weak opening with 5♠/4-5♥. That makes 2♥ here stronger.

Nice hand for 2♦ for spades+diamonds, also. Then, 1♠-P-1NT!-P-2♦ shows a different major two-suiter than ...2♥.

Without either, 3♥ works.

Those of us who tend to open on junk or lightish, find these tough.

3♥ - partner has a reason for opening so I cannot pass with such good support nor can I bid game on my own

Yep this was too easy. I was wondering, if you're a little weaker, Jxxx or even xxxx of hearts, is there a hand where you'd bid 2♠ with, as a false preference? Or with 4 card heart support it's only pass, 3♥ or 4♥?

3H.

Partner knowes, that you may stretch, i.e. he wont play
you for 10-12 bal.

The alternative to 3H is Pass, make the hand slightly weaker,
say a (bad) 8 count and you should pass.

With kind regards

I can't recall ever giving false preference on this auction.

I suppose it is possible.

But not if you play Gazilli.

The given hand is an easy 3♥ btw.

If partner is a competent declarer, 4♥ game try.

Otherwise 3♥ will suffice.
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?

Easy 3♥ IMO.

I've been playing transfers here by opener (2♦ instead of 2♥), where responder easier can distinguish between different strength by just giving preference to 2♥ or raising. This hand would of course be a raise to 3♥ anyway, but a little weaker hand could just bid 2♥, knowing that opener still would have a chance to make another bid.
Kind regards,
Harald
