Rebid Problem

Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not vulnerable.

Here is your hand:
♠QT7
♥54
♦AKQ
♣AK953

You are Dealer and open the bidding 1♣. The Opponents are silent during the bidding. Partner responds 1♥. What is your call?

This shows a balanced hand with 18 or 19 HCP (High Card Points). Perfect!

Don't rebid your ♣ suit. 3♣ shows a SIX card suit with 16 to 18 HCP.
