Competive Bidding - Help me please.

Consider the Following sequence - East opens 1♦

S W N E

1♦

1♥ 1♠ 2♦* 3♦

2♦ = a good raise of ♥, 11-12DH, normally 3card, could be 4 with a low offense-to-defense ratio.

What meaning to give to South's bids ?

- 3♥ ? does this show extra values and or distribution ? or is it a minimum hand ?

- pass ? a minimum overcall ? or extras ?

- Double ? could this be a game try ? Punitive ? Cooperative ?

I have simplified the poll answers....am mostly interested by your comments.

Thanks !

3Hearts shows distributional extras: a 6card, and is competitive.

3Hearts show extra values, inviting....

3Hearts is a minimum Hand, end of bidding

other ?
