Double, also.

I think I will double then rebid 3NT if partner bid 3M, since I would have bid 3NT with hands of equivalent playing strength and wrong shape to double.

I don't think 3NT comes into it. I see 4 top winners, and lots of losers as soon as I have lost a trick. Double, certainly. The difficulty comes when partner bids 3M, do you pass or bid 4 ? I think the purity of the hand says 4 is a decent shot.

X.
Given that your stopper is just Ax, double seems to be superior to 3NT.
If p bids 3M, I will pass.
With kind regards

For these hands they invented the idea that X and 3 NT is not stronger then a direct 3 NT call but more flexible.

X, and then make a guess if partner bids 3M. I mean guess between pass or bidding 3NT over partner's 3M. No need to X then raise to 4M, since by X first then offering 3NT, I already showed a flexible hand (should have 3-card support in M), so partner knows to bid 4M when it is right.

I would pass 3M.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
