I would start with xx for now but we do seem to be playing with a 50 pt deck :).
I hope partner does not make random 2h wjo nv bids in front of an unpassed partner :).

Have a look at the bidding. I opened 1♦, as S; LHO bid 2♥, pard doubled and RHO passed. Redoubling pard's double will never be allowed :D

I agree with 3H. If partner bids 3S, great.

Over 3♥, LHO passes, partner bids 3N, and RHO doubles. Keep it or run?

XX to express doubt. If partner leaves it, hope that he does not lead a club.

The problem is: doubt about what? hearts? diamonds? spades? clubs?

I bid 3♥ and I pass 3NT Xed.

I'm not going to run everytime the opps are doubling my NT games :lol:

3H followed by pass. If partner makes a doubt showing redouble (assuming that we have a clear agreement about that) then I will run.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

This is a much more reasonable position. In my seat you do not have either the information to express doubt or the strength to XX to play (which is the position expressed by Marshall Miles on this kind of XX).

I told a white lie: RHO did not double, and we played 3N undoubled.

Theoretically it should have been a good hand; pard had Qxxx AJx J Q9xxx, and the hearts were split 7-1 between oppos. Unfortunately, RHO (the "doubler" had T9xxx in diamonds and ATxx in clubs), while LHO had ATx in spades.

Theoretically you have 9 tricks (5 diamonds, 2 clubs and 2 hearts); in practice you are unable to cash the 9th trick.
One off.
