Pass?
Vulnerable against not.

RHO (South) deals and opens 1C. You double, and LHO bids 1H.
Partner passes, and RHO rebids 2H.

You chance your arm with 3H. LHO doubles to pass the time of day, and this
is passed back to you. What you do now?

You can:
a) Put yourself in the frame for a flat board,

b) have a reasonable chance of gaining 7imps,

c) or lose 15 imps!
