This is in Acol on IntoBridge. When my partner bids 1♠, the hand is mentally marked as a misfit. Stop early. But I must offer my diamonds. Partner fixes the contract to 2♥ and I pass for a top. Probably, a bit too cautious.
All others went to 4♥. In 2/1or SAYC, South will open 1♥ and North will raise that to 2♥. Should South be enthusiastic at that point? Some play 2♥ as 8-10, and 10 points could be enough for a game, if partner has the right values. Still, I think a game try with 3♦ is all you should do, stopping in 3♥. That's still a top score.
On the other side, the chances of 4♥ are not really bad. You have 3 losers from the top only, if the ♦A is at East. I'd say it is 50:50, maybe a bit less, because there is always the chance of a ruff.
♠ - ♥ - ♦ - ♣
