Partner seems to have four hearts yet could not act.

The spade finesse is probably working. Getting to partner's hand enough times to take it seems like a problem.

Consistent with my reputation as a nit, I will pass.

I doubled in order to bid NT (most of the times, after hearing partner's 1/2). 2NT now.

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

This hand has fallen apart. I think its way to dangerous to act, besides we may be beating it.
Pass and lead 3 rounds of trumps.

Is it MP or IMPs, if it's mentioned anywhere, I can't see it. If it's IMPs I'll go quietly with a pass. At MP however it needs more thinking. Even if they can make +90, going one off for -100 will put you at a disadvantage. The bidding by opponents however is a 3rd chair 1 followed by a single raise by a passed hand over your double, which is about as weak as a competitive auction gets. Partner could easily have something useful and still not act. Say Txx Jxxx xx Qxxx. It'd be ideal if I could double now and pull partner's expected 2 to 2 to show 4-4 in blacks, otherwise I'll chance a 2 bid. If it goes 3 by LHO, there's a risk of course that he'll raise to 3 when you wish he hadn't.

I pass. Even if partner has a good hand there very likely no entries to it, and his will be badly positioned for NT.
2 may very well be going down, so even though I was going to bid 1NT over the 1, but bidding 2NT seems like a good way to convert plus to minus (which is not good in any scoring).

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

:P I have not seen a situation like this in a lifetime of bridge, but selling out for 2 doesn't seem right. The majors are unaccounted for, so I'm bidding 2.

Seems like a canonical 'dbl + NT' hand, so why shouldn't I bid 2NT now?

IMPs. Sorry, should have made it clearer.

Furlan asks "Your call?"

IMO Pass = 10, 2N = 9.
When you doubled, you intended to rebid 2N but now, in spite of opponents's admission of weakness, bidding seems dangerous.
