I would bid. I like voids and six card suits, but it certainly could work out badly.

Serious question - is the 'go to' bid double or 3S? I'd double, but I'm not sure that is right.

Pass. I like voids and 6 card suits too, but I also like hlding a hand to come in at this level.

I only have an understanding partner to answer to at MP, and might just perpetrate a 3S bid at love all. That doesn't make it a good choice, and pard will also understand if I don't.

As Frederic said to dear little Mabel..
I would if I could, but I am not able.

Who does this hand belong to?
Opener has maybe 9 or 10 HCP, responder's hand HCPs are unknown but normally responder will have 3 ♥ marking partner with at least 4 ♥s.
Responder can still have a fairly good hand -- up to a decent 11 or 12. So there's no guarantee that the hand belongs to your side.
So if the hand is passed back to partner, there's still a chance partner can choke out a reopening Dbl with a decent hand.
But with partner probably holding 4 ♥s, what suit is partner's hand likely to be short in? ♠s.
So I pass and bid 3 ♠ after a reopening Dbl.

Interesting. You explain how many hearts partner has. You explain that he is likely short in spades. And, you conclude that he will reopen with a double and then you will bid spades.
I conclude from your premise that the auction is over right now, unless you bid 3S; and perhaps it is best that the auction is over right now, but am going to bid 3S anyway.
