Pass, we're in a game force and partner gets another bid. So pass should show a minimum and let partner continue to tell his/her story.

echo pass hardly a horrific hand but not really the kind of hand one would wish to x with. Change spades to Kxx and would be a ton happier with x. Ace is still too much of a slam card opposite my GF and unlimited partner. I have a much tougher decision next round if p x:))))))))

Double. Optional penalty. Club shortness.

PASS
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"
"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."

Pass seems routine.
In fact I'm slightly curious as to why this was posed as a problem...

Although it might've worked this time (nice defense), I think your partner's double on this hand has a serious negative IMP expectation in the long run. I would guess more than -2 IMPs/board on average.
If you're interested (and can provide me with a range of hands that pass the double) I'd be happy to put together a simulation and test this theory.
Perhaps he made the decision to double based on table presence, which I can respect. However I would need a very strong lean to change my position on this hand.

Yeah why not, I also think it was a bad double, but whatever.
I would pass with any semi-balanced hand without 4 hearts, maybe even with singleton spade honnor. I could have 4-clubs, but shouldn't have less. The difficult part will be to get the 2♠ range.
