Sometimes you have to be a pragmatist at this game. You have an effective 16 count (K is under the hearts) and no long spades as a sanctuary. The sensible bid is to pass - if 4 goes off, great - but it's more likely you'll end up conceding 590 if you double.

Let's decide that you pass sensibly and partner leads J. You play Q and declarer wins with the ace. The next three cards are Q, 2, 3.

Your play.
