As much as I like to compete vs preempts, I need more playing strength than this.

Pass > Double > 3D > 3NT.
I guess you bid 3D since you say you misbid.

At MPs, dbl. At imps, pass.
Would dbl at both scorings if pard were not a passed hand.

Pass, but I may overlook the fact that
partner pased already and may bid 3D.
With kind regards

You could also say, it was unlucky that it was not Xed,
because it may have teached you a lesson, or for that
matter me, if I had played instead of you.
But in the given situation, the risk of being Xed is fairly
small, given that the partner of the preemptor is a passed
hand, and the preempt happened in 3rd place.
