An in-tempo 2 Hearts by a bunny might be more informative than a slow one. The bunny has to work out the situation and decide what to do. A beginner usually would have extra values for that bid, if they worked out that a pass was optional. But they could have less values for the bid if they thought they had to bid.

So I say bid at your own risk. I trust the opps and bid an obvious 3H.
