2♥, even if partner is French.

If your style allows you to ever raise on 3-card support, that's just about the perfect hand for it.

2♣ because the suit is strong, but I don't mind bidding 1NT to show my 2-3 card support. Sinlgeton spade is a minor issue when nobody bids them.

It must be a geographical/style thing, my (pickup) partner raised blue murder when he saw my hand.

9, AT9, T752, AKJ72

KQ43, Q742, QJ8, 63

1♣:1♥
2♥:3♥ -2

I think continuing to 3♥ is more aggressive.

I think the only crime is complaining loudly about the 2♥ call. Nevertheless the 3♥ call is probably warranted by risk/reward

I think bidding 3♥ is just wrong, you have a 10 count with no aces, only 4 indifferent hearts and soft values in what may well be the wrong suits. If you twisted my arm and forced me to bid, 2N is much better than 3♥, but to me it's not close, I'd pass.

3♥ is pretty bad.

2♥ is automatic for me.

If I'm from a country where it seems every other consonant is silent, verbs get conjugated 20 times, the women are dynamite, and so is the wine....well I'm not playing bridge much :P but when I do I'll still raise to 2♥.

Two hearts was the 100% correct call.

Three hearts was a considerable overbid.

Complaining about 2 hearts was to distract from how bad 3 hearts bid was.
