I'll pass, partner has guessed about my strength (both opps made limited bids) and included it into his bid.

I agree here... Let's not punish partner for balancing... even if partner has a play for game... Both round Kings would be off, and the ♠ finesse on, but... I just don't think it's enough.

2NT.

As much as I believe in not hanging partner, we have at least got to invite with 15 hcp sitting over a strong notrump opener.

Partner would balance with Axxxx xx xxx xxx I would hope... We aren't hanging partner, now we are hanging ourselves.

And what's the problem if he does have that (a good partner wouldn't have that, but assume he might for argument's sake). 2NT may well be better than 2♠.

I would normally agree, but look at our 15 HCP, ♥QJ aren't behind opener, ♦AK ain't promoting themselves much. Add that we would need to play in a 5-2 fit to get entries to partner's hand and what's left?. I think we must pass this time.
