Responding

Playing matchpoints. Both you and the Opponents are vulnerable.

Here is your hand:
♠A52
♥K874
♦AT43
♣T8

Partner opens the bidding 1♦. Your RHO bid 3♥. (Ouch! That makes it tough!)

What is your call?

This is a tough one but I'd suck it up and bid 3NT.

You HATE to "Pass" and really have nothing else to bid. I'd be a little worried about taking 11 tricks in 5♦.
