Hold my nose, close my eyes, and double.

Omit holding the nose if screens aren't in use.

Double - Pass - 3N
Pull out your 3 sided coin and flip.
Is one of these right and the others wrong - probably. Can you be sure which - No.

Pass. No other call is good. If I double, what do I do after pard bids 3H? 3NT may work, but suppose that pard has few HCP, and responder, who passed over 3D, has a suitable defensive hand? No thanks! As Bill might say, the clucks are getting louder and louder the more I bang on this keyboard.

Pass. If pard had their six hcp that I would bid 3NT on, I'm toast due to the clubs. Best to go quietly.

Agree with Taiga - dbl. 3N is too optimistic. Pass is too pessimistic. Partner may have a penalty pass. Even if partner bids hearts, maybe pard has 5 or 6 of them.

PASS
K diam is useless, yu have only 12 hcp...) - enuff for play on level 3 or 4 (with expected 6-10 hcp at Prt's hand) ??
 
What will yu bid over 3h or 4h from Prt.... ??
 
Yu can call me chicken, but.. as Rixi Marcus said "if yu play for money yu shd be responsible ..."

Re zbig's question... if you double, you're obviously planning to pass any nonforcing bid by your partner. Including 3H.

Certainly no guarantee you'll get to the right contract, but I do think the odds are better than if you pass.

I like pass, if your DK is as worthless as it seems, you are far from game.

BTW, Pass is what is right on this hand as pard is 3-5-2-3
