You hold
♠A103
♥QJ9642
♦A
♣A63
1H: 1S
Playing ACOL (4 card majors and a 12-14 NT), what's your rebid?
Would your answer be different if
(i) playing 5 card majors; or
(ii) vulnerable at IMPs?
Thanks.

playing Acol - 3H.
Playing 5 card major, and a more american style, I may just bid 2H,
vulnerability and format does not play a big role.
With kind regards

I'll leave 2C to experts like Phil. I don't see any reason to underbid with 2H.

not so much the 2♦ opening, but the ability to raise with only 3♠ knowing partner has 5+♠ or 4 good ones.

I'd bid 2♣. 3♥ is atypical in three ways: the hearts are weak, it's very suitable for playing in spades, and it's a bit light on values. I could live with two of those, but three is too many.

Either the temporising 2C (I now better understand the merits of this bid. I did fleetingly consider it at the time but was concerned that it didn't get across either of the 2 main features of my hand - (i) the 6th heart; (ii) the 3 card spade holding) or 3H should get you to the cold game we (I) missed - partner held
♠KQxx
♥10xx
♦Kxxx
♣ xx.

Why 1♠..you are only worth 1 bid..2♥seems clear.
