RHO deals and opens 1♥, matchpoints, would you double if you were V/V? what about NV/V?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

No, pass and if it goes 1H-p-2H-p-p then you double 2H.

An alternative choice is overcall 1S, which is OK for a good 4 card suit.

For our side vulnerable I strongly prefer pass.

This is a style issue. If you routinely double based on strength rather than shape then this hand probably does not qualify. If your double is more shape-oriented then it probably is a double. Thus I would expect more votes for double from the UK than from the US. I have no problems with either style, the important thing is only that a pair agrees.

Depends on pard, not on system. If he's trigger-happy, pass. Else dbl :)

Definitely dbl if pard is a passed hand (he won't have cards to take you too seriously lol).

I'd double at any vulnerability. It may be a bit low on high cards, but they're all in the right place.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Same as Andy, i like this hand. And isn't being vulnerable makes it even harder to get in later ?

Say we are red vs white, are we happy with our first pass if it comes back at 3 level ?

1♥-pass-3♥ (weak) - pass - pass - ?

1♥-pass-3♣/♦(bergen)-pass-3♥- ?

1♥-pass-2♥-pass-3♥ (not invite)- ?

1♥-pass-3♣(wjs)-pass pass - ? (over this i'd DBL though if i passed teh first time, at mps)
