MPs scoring, 2S was a strong two. What do you do now?

Abstain.
I disagree with 4♥ since it shows a very strong hand and creates a forcing pass. So even if I wanted to pass now, it will be forcing.
And don't tell me to spare 4♥ bid for weaker hands like this with a lot of trumps.
I would start 3♥.

I rank
1. Pass = Pussy: Partner and yhou seem to have have more than 20 red cards between you ..
2. 6♥ = Piggy. If partner has some hearts, 6♥ will make or be cheap. But in that case, we don't seem to have much defence against 6♠
3. Double = Pushy.

I think that 6♠ cannot be so sure if diamonds split.

Pass.

2 ♠ is described as strong with 8+ tricks, so 4 ♥ has to be a preempt. Once you preempt, partner is in control. At this vulnerability, your preempt should be within a trick or 2 of making, so should be based on an 8+ card suit. Yet, partner bid ♦ as an alternative suggesting ♥ shortness.

You've gotten them to the 5 level. So, it's time to leave it up to partner to compete further, if at all. You don't know partner's hand but partner has a decent gauge on your hand.

I would bid on if LHO were playing it (planning to Lightner X 6♠), but not this way up.

Having started 4♥ it seems obvious to pass now but it might be better to have started 5♥ and saved ourselves this position.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKK BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK

PASS

This chicken has no idea who can make what and at these colors guessing to be aggressive (especially against a (semi) strong 2 bid
normally leads one down the path of doom. We have described our hand pretty well so why not let partner make any final decisions.
