Our side vulnerable; matchpoints
♠95 ♥QT987 ♦753 ♣A72
Pass Pass 1♦ 1NT
Pass 2♦ 3♣ Pass
Pass ?????
Double now is just extras.
What is the best action ?
I am pretty sure pass is normal at imps. At matchpoints I am lost. If they were vulnerable I would be more happy about passing but here they might be stealing.
Thoughts ?

Definitely pass. Partner probably has a doubleton club and three hearts but didn't bid 3♥. Maybe he is something like 4342 shape, North 2155 and South 5413. This is really quite unattractive for us and there are good chances that either they make or we could not make even 2♥, e.g.
To make a matchpoint double you need a situation where you are pretty sure your contract was making and that pairs at other tables will be allowed to play there. Neither of those conditions exists here.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.
