Here is your hand:
♠QJ98
♥A5
♦763
♣J954
Playing matchpoints and your side is vulnerable.
Partner is Dealer and opens the bidding 1
♥. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) responds 1♠. What is your call?

How about 1NT?
This shows 6 to a bad 10 HCP, a stopper in ♠ and a balanced hand. All of which you have.
Normally a 1NT response would NOT show a balanced hand but when RHO bids now you have choices on whether or not to bid or Pass. You choose to bid so you should be balanced.
If you choose to "Pass" you let the Opponents walk all over you. Be more aggressive next time.
