Playing matchpoints you are not vulnerable. Your Partner is Dealer and open the bidding 1♥. The RHO says "Pass".

What is your call?

If you "Pass" Partner gets to play in 1♥ and they take 8 tricks.

If you bid 2♥ Partner thinks you actually have the 6 points you are supposed to have to respond. They bid 4♥. They go down 2.
