Abstain. I wouldn't be defended 2♣. Maybe 2♣X, but not 2♣.
Against 2♣X I'd lead a trump I guess.

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

♥A, though I doubt it matters much which red ace I start with. RHO may have tried harder to X with some heart length so the heart is less likely to set up tricks or provide dummy ruffs. And this is probably a gross over-analysis.
If we were playing a 15-17 NT I would have opened 1NT. And I would have Xed 2♣ for takeout on this auction.

I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

I lead the red card I forgot to put on the table the last round since I can't lead a 1NT.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

I'm surprised that everyone wants to double 2♣. Partner couldn't respond to 1♠, and he'll have another chance when 2♣ comes back to him. If I force him to play in two of a red-suit he's likely to have problems with ruffing his club losers. If partner doesn't bid anything voluntarily, I'm happy to defend 2♣ undoubled.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I agree with most part except we don't know yet if pd will have another chance (at least at 2 level). So if LHO raises to 3♣ and comes to us, we will have to scratch our head and wish we dbled the previous round. On the other hand, vs a pd who passed 1♠ initially, we need perfect cards to be missing something big, such as
x xxxxxx QTx xxx
I agree that when we DBL 2♣, this is the kind of hand we want our pd to have, rather than what he actually has most of the time. As u said he will bid with this if 2♣ comes to him anyway.
