Double take 800, but if replying 2♣ directly instead of 1♥ will get you 1370.

Doesn't that rather rub in the point about why the 1H response was wrong?

I think there should be a big sign in all bridge clubs, on BBO, and somewhere here in the forums, in large friendly letters:

With a game-forcing hand, bid your longest suit first.

I find it really amazing how often we get a thread here where reasonable players failed to do this.
