matchpoints. 3♥, 3nt and 4♥ are all possible, and maybe something else I haven't thought of. What's your choice? What sort of hand do you put p on?

3NT. Expect P to have singleton ♣ and 7-11 HCP. In 4♥, I dont like the fact that they will lead through AQ of♣, a bad trump split is also possible.

3 ♥ is out, I would bid it with a weak NT with 4 Hearts, my hand is much stronger.

I go for 4 ♥. If partner doubled on 53 or 43 in the majors, this may end ugly, but 3 Nt could be a disaster too.
Kind Regards

I'd only consider bidding 3♥ if I had agreed to play it as forcing.

4♥ Jump shows 5♦-4♥ we are plenty for it, only doubt is if 3NT won't be a better spot, and I think it is not. Both red suits look a bit suit oriented to me, and stablishing 2 suits is always risky because you can so easilly no get there in time.
