Rebidding your Major

Here is your hand:

♠94
♥AKQT98
♦K3
♣A65

Partner opens the bidding with a "Pass". The Opponents are silent during the auction. You decide to open the bidding 1♥. Partner now bids 1♠. What is your call?

How about 3♥?

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


The problem with rebidding 2♥ is that Partner will never think you have this nice of a hand. You can't or you would have bid 3♥.
