Pass, to suggest some interest.

Seems like a slight overbid to me, but doubling seems like a slight underbid.

This is why opps bid 5♥ on these auctions.

Pass. If we are mirrored and opposite something like AKxx x KQxxx AKx then I expect partner to double as he has no extra shape. If he bids he will have more shape than this and we probably want to declare.

Pass. They can even make on a bad day and I have quite offensive hand.

♠109xx with only 8 trumps and a lot of distribution around makes me double. High ODR hands with low values are always a mess.
