I'd double for takeout and pull 4♥ to 5♣.

No risk no fun?
Against reasonable opps I risk passing, not competing. They have their bid.

Your options are either Pass or X.
I would go with Pass, but the meek may inherite the earth,
but they dont win at bridge, or more precise, I guess X is
the better call by a fair margin.
This would be espesially true red vs. green.
With kind regards

If you are going to pull isn't it much better to pull to 4♠.
Partner is allowed to be 4=4 or similar in the majors.

I believe that the USA currently hold only the World Championship For People Who Still Bid Like Your Auntie Gladys - dburn
dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

Yes, much better, partner will correct to 5♣ if there's no fit in the Majors. (Though I'm expecting partner to pass, mostly).

Does partner pass an interesting MM/ M-suit/ C-fit with 8+ HCP? If he doesn't have such a hand, pass.
