2D. Partner will assume I'm 5-4, but I'd rather have a second place to land than worry about missing a 6-2 heart fit if he's weak.
(And 4-4 diamonds might well be a better game than 6-2 hearts, because I can take discards on the hearts.)

I diasgree with the assessment that hearts is necessarily trumps. Kenberg made an excellent point about that. Give partner 4 decent diamonds and a singleton heart, and this thing is going to be WAY more productive with diamonds as the boss suit and the heart suit as the side suit for discards.

6-4-6. I can't agree with any of the rationales for rebidding hearts without showing the diamonds first.
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!
