A position I am always clueless in

Our side vulnerable; matchpoints

 

95 QT987 753 A72

 

Pass Pass 1 1NT

Pass 2 3 Pass

Pass ?????

 

Double now is just extras.

What is the best action ?

I am pretty sure pass is normal at imps. At matchpoints I am lost. If they were vulnerable I would be more happy about passing but here they might be stealing.

Thoughts ?

Definitely pass. Partner probably has a doubleton club and three hearts but didn't bid 3. Maybe he is something like 4342 shape, North 2155 and South 5413. This is really quite unattractive for us and there are good chances that either they make or we could not make even 2, e.g.

To make a matchpoint double you need a situation where you are pretty sure your contract was making and that pairs at other tables will be allowed to play there. Neither of those conditions exists here.
