Pass. We have no major suit stoppers. I'd rather be -2 than -3...

If partner had 18 and stoppers in both majors, why not bid 2NT over 1NT? If he had 17 and stoppers in both majors, why not open 1NT? If he only has one major suit stopped, why isn't he patterning out his hand?

I suppose partner could have 16-17 with a singleton ace, in which case 3♦ is obvious. I can't think of what else he could have playing a 15-17 NT.

Why are you blaming partner? If his hearts were Qx, or his spades were AJ, would you want to be in 3NT?

So you think 3NT by you now is the right bid, and 2NT by partner was the wrong bid, and it's obvious 3NT is a bad contract.

Do you know what "blame" means?
