To those that double I would like to ask how close you think it is. Would you double with xx AQxxx Qxx 10xx?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I was an initial doubler, and thought it an absolute minimum....with your posted hand, I would pass....there is a great difference, imo, between Kxx and Qxx in terms of defending, more even than in terms of offence...when we are likely defending 5♣, I want quick defensive tricks.

Subtract the ♥Q and make the ♦Q the K and I'm in but not with this one.

I have a firm partnership agreement that you don't pull unless it's to make. Doesn't always work out but pards cards always justify the attempt.

I'm gonna pass. My 3 clubs make it likely pard has a sing/void there. So he'll certainly balanced if he has extras. If he's min he'll pass, which suits as fine since it's far from certain we have a game here.
