Form of scoring? If Imps, I go with the Hamman Law.

If some other form of scoring, I think about it -- why didn't partner double etc. Probably end up doing the same.

Probably pass. No source of tricks for 3NT. Partner is short in Ds and yet passed. Is this a hesitation question?

I'm probably going to punt 3nt.

There are 24 points left so average for pards is 8. If he has club length or the Queen and 1 or 2 others then we have a source of tricks so maybe we can make game. I hope that in the long run I'll make more 600's (vs 50/100/150's) than go for big negatives.

In long matches or against regular opponents I like to punt tight games as it can put extra pressure on them, which can lead to mistakes and extra MP's or Imps.

Clear pass for me. Partner either has nothing or nothing in the majors. Yes we can miss game but so what? We "can" almost always miss game.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
