2N at MP, 3N at imps. Even at MP it's not good to miss cold games, or NT.

Its hard to predict the field result when you play an anti-field method. You risk a full board swing whatever you do.

If you invite with hands like this then don't blame pard when he accepts with a non-fitting so-so 14 count and game is hopeless.

Nevertheless I'd make a Keri 2 call if available. That way we will stop in 2 opposite a minimum with 3 and play 2N otherwise. We might find our 5-3 fit too :P

2nd option is to pass hoping NT plays the same as hearts or that they balance.

i'd pass 2h at mps and invite at imps, unless vulnerable (then just bid the game)

10 count, nice intermediates, nice 5 card suit, I invite with 2N. Matchpoints smatchpoints.

In my preferred methods I would respond 2C (Hearts or balanced). With more than 3 card support opener commits to 3H, but with fewer he would distinguish between max v min via choice of 2D/2H, so I get to play in 2H if partner refuses the game try.
