What if you were 2524? Or with unpassed partner?

I am more interested in reasoning rather than what exactly you do.

I would double because it is much safer, and if we have a 4H game partner *probably* needs 4 hearts anyways as a passed hand (in which case we will still get there).

Agree. Dbl is quite the better bid because pard is a passed hand.

I'd double even opposite an unpassed hand. With 2524 and the same hand I would pass.

Same for me.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

A T/O is safer, than a 2H overcall.
