Playing matchpoints. You are not vulnerable but the Opponents are.
Here is your hand:
♠A875
♥AKQT64
♦84
♣2
You open the bidding with 1
♥. The Opponents are silent during the auction. Partner responds 1♠. What is your call?

How about 3♠?
This shows a hand with four ♠ and about 17 or 18 points. You have thirteen High Card Points plus three points for your singleton and 1 point for your doubleton.
Your ♥ suit is GORGEOUS! I'll give you that. But if you rebid your ♥ suit you can no longer count your Dummy points. You'll have to rebid 2♥. Plus Partner will now never believe you have four ♠. You would have supported them if you did.
If you wanted to bid 4♠ I'd totally agree with that bid also. You don't need much from partner to make a game. As little as:
♠KQJ2
♥85
♦7632
♣976
