3H. I didn't even have to think long about this.

Agree with Ron that this is a clear 3H bid.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

It looks like partner would welcome a double, but with ten points and a club void I'm not doing it.

I think three hearts is enough.

Should be unanimous... but someone voted for 4♥ :)
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

okay, this isn't interesting. i have bid 3h in no time and we ended up in 4s which made, -1 at the other table so it swung. however i missed to make my partner's day. what i wanted to discuss on this topic are the requirements for the balancing x. my p claims that structure of points has more impact then distribution. i must admit that it has some merit

I think partner is resulting the board. Ya, an X might have worked out better. But 6/5 majors and 10 hcp I am not X'ing.

If 3C was weak I think X might have a lot going for it even though it's crazy...but I would still bid 3H.
