Responding to three of a suit is a little different to one and two of a suit, as the bidding has started high, which has the potential to cause problems for flat hands if you are not careful. Unlike responding to 1-level and 2-level bids, responder should not necessarily bid his longest suit; instead he often bids his cheapest 4+ card suit.
