Rebids

Here is your hand:
♠Q752
♥AQJ7
♦AJ62
♣A

You are Dealer. What do you open the bidding?

I think most players would open this 1♦. This shows at least three ♦ and 13 (good 12?) or more HCP.

Your Partner now bids 1♥. That shows at least four ♥ and at least 6 HCP.

What will you bid over Partner's 1♥ response?

How about 4♥? This would show four ♥ and about 19 to 21 points.

You have 18 HCP and 3 Dummy point for your singleton. True a singleton Ace is not as good as it appears. You'd prefer you had the A♠ and a small singleton ♣ BUT a singleton is still good and even if you counted one extra point for it you are still good to bid game.
