Another Rebid

Here is your hand:

♠AK3
♥AQ7653
♦A
♣852

Playing matchpoints and you are vulnerable.

You open the bidding 1♥. Partner responds 1♠. The opponents are silent during the bidding.

What is your call?

3♥. That shows a GOOD six card suit with 16 to 18 HCP.

If you rebid 2♥ only you showed a six card suit with a minimum hand -- about 13 to 15 HCP.

If you supported Partner's ♠ suit remember Partner only needs a FOUR card suit to respond.
