I used to pass these hands out of a combination of fear and a feeling that we have good defence....but not anymore.

It's not as if partner is going to be on lead against a heart contract, and the auction suggest that they will play in hearts....maybe as low as 3♥.

So I bid 3♣ on the grounds that while everything is dangerous, passing is simply too dangerous.

Sure, 3♣. Hopefully we aren't playing FNJ or something silly like that.

Lol. ROBSON-SEGAL ONE TIME?! Anyways if this was a fit non jump OP should tell us, and if we don't have that agreement then I would not assume it to be on undiscussed.

If I was a passed hand 3♣ would be a FNJ, now it's just ♣. So 3♣ wtp.

3♣, the problem must be the next bid?

Sure, 3♣. There has to be a limit to pessimism.
