yeah, but are you bidding agressive hearts or conservative diamonds?

Too bad opener didn't risk a 2♣ rebid. Tough hand.
Imagine the auction:
1♠-1N
2♣-2♥
2♠-3♦....
Opener appears strong enough to bid as a "strong" 6=4...
Be the partner you want to play with.
Trust demands integrity, balance and collaboration.

That only works if you play that 3♦ as natural, which is not completely obvious to me (I would assume it's a generic probe for the best game, but perhaps it should indeed be natural).
I would rather try a direct, natural and invitational 3♥, intending to bid 4♦ if partner bids 3♠. May get us too high on a misfit though, but at least it's pretty clear 4♦ is NOT forcing (I could have bid 2♥ then 3♦ with a forcing hand).
