First hand of a team match, all white:

♠AK9
♥J94
♦KJT5
♣J53

(Pa)-Pa-(2♦*)-Pa
(2♠**)-Pa-(Pa)-???

*Either weak in a Major or strong 4441 17+
**Invitation to game if your suit is hearts

Do you let them play or do something?

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

If we were not facing a passed partner, 2NT. My personal method is pass then 2NT = 13-15 balanced.

Standard in England and many other places (where we have a lot of multi openings) is to double 2♦ with this, so basically this is a non problem. But again, we would simply pass throughout opposite a passed hand. It's just ridiculous to get involved.

I let them play. Wrong forum btw (4333 hands are never interesting).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Would you double 2♠ directly with ♠Tx♥Qxx♦AQxxx♣Kxx?

Yes, I would. I am an absolute max passed hand with a small doubleton spade.
