You have :
You are North, your LHO opens 3♦ and your pard bids 3♥. You can decide to pass of course, or commit to game with a pushy 3♠/4♥. If you bid 3♠, you probably already know what you will do on a possible 3NT from pard. Well... actually...

I would pass instantly. My hand is not anything special.

My plan is to wait for the opening lead, then put down the dummy in proper order, then relax and wait for the next deal, while partner handles this one.

You maybe just convinced my pard that PASS is a decent bid.
In a very tough and important match in the french national division my partner bid 3♠, I bid 3NT... and I went down 5 (on a misdefence : they could have squeezed me in 3 suits for down 6. They cashed the ♦ at the 13th trick. They made 4 Clubs, 2 Spades, 1 Heart, 2 Diamonds). 3♥ was down 2 on best defense.
5 teammates rather "annoyed" at the end of a saturday session of the french nationals. Or should I say 10 teammates ? Nobody could believe it, but the result was duplicated !
