3♠

I still have 16 hcp with seven spades. Even if the ♥Q has got a little worse.

3♠, the 2♥ bid didn't change much.

I suppose you are implying that unfavorable I might be able to push them into 5H? I don't think it's that likely but it's possible, still I am not going to try to bid tactically here and am just going to make the right value bid.

I did bid 4♠. Partner does not need a lot to make 4 (eg 2 Kings).
I did go -1, but it should have been -2.
Maybe I'm imaging too much the best minimum hand for partner (a hand that passes 3 and we make 4)

3♠ just for the sake of 7th ♠, or i would bid 2♠.

3S is correct, but I have a lot of admiration for 3NT.

My hand doesn't change with the vulnerability :) 3♠

Might consider 4 if I feel lucky.
