Does your decision change if the scoring is MPs?

Am I missing something totally obvious? Does 1S show a 7 card H suit or something? Isn't a double 100% obvious even to Blind Freddy? My cat would double on this hand and she has only been learning Bridge for 2 weeks. (Plays better than some posters here though.)

Ron, the negative attitude in your posts has been annoying me for quite a while, but this is too much. I will completely ignore all your posts in this forum until you have changed your style.

So long

Edit: Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with the discussion in the "alerts" thread.

At these colours I would go for my own game, so double is my choice. Reverse the vulnerability, and I will collect my 500 or 800, even at IMPs. 3NT is an option, but we might have a double fit in the majors. I can always bid 3NT later if partner rebids 2♦.

Not sure what happened since my post is there twice. At least it shows that I didn't change my mind :rolleyes:

2♣. 3NT is my next bid if partner rebids 2♦. I have too much concentrated in clubs and hearts for spades to be interesting, unless opener has considerable extras.

Double now. If they pass I'd like a forcing NT but lacking that I will bid 2♣.
As others have said, what's the hurry? 3NT on my next turn.

2C if pd passes. Can't opener have 4H as well? Why bid 3NT?

I'm playing ACOL with 4-card majors. As in SJ Simon? So, double is a cooperative penalty double, right? I choose that.
