gambling 3nt overcalls, unlike "gambling 3nt" openings, are expected to be left in, they aren't really "gambling"; it's more "I think I can make this". Unlike the opening which is typically played as denying outside stoppers, 3nt overcalls promise outside stoppers (at least in the opponent's suit, may be missing one elsewhere), partner is supposed to pass almost regardless (unless you have an unusually good hand for partner's expected 7 cd solid suit, and couple outside stoppers, and think slam can make).

The 3NT bidder will typically have something like:
♠65
♥2
♦K3
♣ AKT87632
He has nine tricks in his own hand provided he gets the lead he is hoping for.

I think you should pass. Even opposite a hand like Erin's, 3NT is better than 4♠. Now partner maybe hove something in hearts, or he may have two diamond tricks in addition to seven club tricks.

Definitely pass. Partner has a good hand and lots of tricks, we are not broke.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!
