All white, you deal and get:

♠Tx
♥Txxxx
♦9xx
♣AKQ

Pa-Pa-1♦-Pa
1♥-Pa-3♦-Pa
?

What are your options? Which do you take? Why?

Does 3S ask S-stop? Guess 5D if no S-stop.

You get to use this phrase once a year and I think you are several over your limit.

What would 3♥ mean here? Would you bid that? Is 3♠ better? Is 3NT better? We have AKQ in clubs so partner almost surely doesn't have that stopper...

3d can be such a wide range....I take a shot. I do have a max.

Very strong chancepard has a stiff or void in h. I play he hasa stiff or void somewhere for 3d.

3H would show a good 5 card suit, and forcing, similar 3S would also show
some values, not necessarily length.

You dont have a good bid, I would go with 3H, but 3NT is certainly also a
sensible alternative.

Have to try 3NT, you likely belong there and there is no other good way to reach it. 3♥ could get you there but could also get you to a terrible heart fit.

3♠ = I stop one black suit, do you stop the other?

Lol. And if he stops one and bids 3NT you just cross your fingers that you aren't stopping the same one? You don't always have AKQ of your stopped suit, sometimes one of you has the ace and the other has the king!
