Well, you have to admit, that is as bad as it gets -- partner isn't even playing with a full deck. Go ahead and add another heart.

Cheers,

Pass its the only sensible action in this situation. 3NT "might" make if partner happens to have the ♦AQx But this is wishful thinking

What information is the PASS by RHO give to the LHO ?.IF I can obtain some information then I shall be able to bid accordingly.Lacking any such information,I would like to play this hand in 3D.Bidding 2C as stayman and getting a 2S reply does not convey anything about partners controls ,range as also the quality of spade suit.As per my limited knowledge of ACOL a 1C opening will likely have a club suit and so unlikely that he has has a 5 carder heart suit.So where are the hearts? if partner replies 2H to stayman you are in a fix.2NT may not work then if LHO has DAxx and my CA gets knocked out on the expected club lead , there will be unsolvable problems.As 3D over a 2H is forcing I dare not bid it.
