4

Pass is reasonable if he is known to open like me.
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

4 also. You seem to have at least 3 1/2 tricks for partner and potential additional tricks in both and with plenty of entries. Unless partner has opened super aggressively with some real trash, game ought to have a decent chance of success.

I'd pass if partner was 1st seat but raise if partner was 2nd seat.

These two auctions are quite different and most players underestimate just how much having an opponent pass in front of you changes the nature of a deal!

Huh, I really thought I had included that info. Sorry, it's 1st seat. Edited the post.

3NT with spades blocked and possibly no side entry? Braver than me!

I believe this was the result of an overflow error (nige1 meant to write -7). This bug will be corrected in nige1.5 or nige2.0 at the latest.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I don't think 3NT makes any sense at IMPs since if p has an entry and solid spades we almost certainly make 4 as well.

Of course it could be a winner at matchpoints.

I respect whenever nige1 posts to play problems, and I respect about the first 15% of his bidding choices

I think 4 is totally obvious. KQ gives us 9 easy tricks and 0-3 ways to get a 10th.
