Matchpoints, both vulnerable. Your partner is the dealer. You hold:

3C ?
3C is strong (game forcing). Opponents are silent.
3NT is certainly possible, given the likelihood of stuffing in hearts.
It's where you wish to be, after all, if partner has, say KX AKQXX Qx
K9x Kxxx But, of course, you might also wish to be in 6C if partner has
Kx KJxxx xx AKQJ. So you must decide to go either high or low. I go
low. You may, if you wish, go high.
