Obviously there's no way we should bid anything more than 3, right?

If a solid 9 card suit isn't enough to bid game http://www.bridgebas.../73747-9-solid/ , then a solid 8 card suit certainly isn't good enough.

But this is different. I've shown at least 4-card support to its suit. So we have at least 12 hearts, and it has out of trump winners (or at least 1 winner if someone tries to nickpick this too much) and I have 6+ points. Surely between all of these it should be easy enough to tell that it's worth going to 4.

You need at least a 10 card suit to raise to game.
