Teams, you're down by 21.5, this is the 5th hand in the final match of 16 boards and the previous 4 were good (you outbid them in competition and made, they went down when they outbid you, you doubled them for only one down in 4 Spades when they competed over your 4♦ which was going down, and they missed a Vulnerable game).

Easy pass noting some players wouldn't even overcall with this hand.

Your agreements on the strength of the 3♥ bid? I'd pass if 3♥ shows 0-7, and bid if it shows 8-11. For the more likely treatments somewhere in between, I'm not sure. It might also depend on whether South would bid 2♠ with three spades and scattered values.

It comes down to how likely partner is likely to have 3 out of the 5 useful cards (A♠, A♥, AK♣, a fourth heart), plus the outside chance partner has a spade singleton.

If spades had been raised by my lho I would shoot game and if my pard had raised via a 2♠ cue bid I would make a try with 3♣. On this auction, I hope to make 3.

Thinking about this a little more...

I agree with ggwhiz if we have good players at the table. But I'm a little worried OP is in the position where LHO doesn't know to auto-raise on 3 and CHO doesn't know about the 2♠ raise.

I don't have enough for 2♥, does partner reopen 1♠?
