You hold this great hand:

♠AKJxxx
♥AJxx
♦AJx
♣

And it goes:

1♠-2♣-Pass-3♣
???

What do you bid here?

I guess it is best to double (T/O). Bidding 2♥ could be done on lesser 5-5 Majors hands, and less suited for defense than this hand.
Double tells partenr, you have a real good hand, suitable for defense, probably (almost sure) a 4 card ♥ and 5 spades. Without fit, and with some ♣ he can pass.
Double is really descriptive here..... far the best bid....

Wow, first time in quite a while I disagree with a post by Adam. Trying for slam is a huge overbid!

What the hell is 4♣ anyway?

I would double, but I doubt it will be the last decision I will have to make.

Yeah I'm having a few second thoughts about that :P

I thought my hand was AKJxxx AKxx AJx -, I think 4♠ is probably enough now, no way partner can have exactly what we need

Still not right, double has a strong 6331 tendency, 5431 is possible of course, but in general I estimate 3 hearts is about 2 times more likelly than 4.
