All vul, IMPs

♠Kxx ♥A7xxx ♦Jxx ♣Jx

1♣ - 1♠ - double - 2♠
3♦ - 3♠ - ?

Would certainly not double at IMPs. Might double at matchpoints, but would not be surprised to concede 730 - the opponents also know that they are vulnerable. Would probably just bid 4♣ - perhaps it will make anyway, or perhaps my RHO will have ♠A and lead it, allowing partner to pitch a heart. If partner bids five, I expect him to make it. 3NT is absurd - partner would have bid 3♠ if we could make that. 3♦ was not forcing, even if it showed a full reverse (which is questionable).
When Senators have had their sport
And sealed the Law by vote,
It little matters what they thought -
We hang for what they wrote.

I'd probably double (not quite sure) at MP's but at imp's there's too much at stake.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.
