♠ 6 4
♥ Q 9 8 5
♦ 6 4 3 2
♣ K 6 4
 
West should make a jump raise to 3♥ to show four-card support and a weak hand ~ 6-10 total points (HCP + dummy points). The idea is once the opponents show values in the bidding, all raises become weak. With 3 trumps, compete to the two level, with 4 trumps, compete to the 3 level and with 5 trumps, compete to the 4 level.
