Matchpoints

Pass or 3♥ and is this obvious?
Same at IMP's?

i don't think the decision is obvious. I would personally pass. I'd consider a double--both on the principle that 2NT-P-P-? can be doubled on principle, and that it'd get partner off to a heart lead and if declarer is trapped in his hand with a dead dummy, I might have enough entries to cash out my hearts. That said, I'd pass.

3♥ is obviously out and double would be interesting if it was "lead your shortest major CHO!", but well I don't know if that's the case. So pass and enjoy the suffering.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

MP's

I passed, but wondered afterwards if it wasn't better to bid. We have a 7c♥ and points are probably 20-20.
2NT made +2 when partner did lead a ♣ for a score of 6/14. 3♥ gets 100%.

Unfortunately CHO cannot always lead his short major. 6 of 14 is fine. Mama Papa might do better, though, by leading longest suit.

I think I'd balance.

Double is not good.
