3♦. Pard and LHO (both passed hands) should likely be around 10 HCP each.
A 6-5 is always an attractive hand (and if partner feels frisky, and doubles 3♥ I have good defence too)

I think this one is pretty close. I hate selling out to 2♥ here, but preemptor's partner may well raise rather than thinking he will get away with playing a 9/10 card fit at the 2 level. If you bid 3♦ you are very likely to hear 3NT from partner, which I think you should pull...but there is a case for saying that should be GFing now.

At the table, my LHO held this hand and bid 3♦. My RHO bid 3N on xxxx KQT9x Qx Qx, Lefty pulled to 4♣ and righty corrected to 4♦, which goes at least 2 off. 2♥ would have been pretty marginal.

I am not sure whether we should pull pard's 3NT here.
