Pass. There's not a single defensive trick I'm confident about making.

pass
lho is probably bidding to make - it wasn't a competitive auction - and i have no reason to think he's wrong.

If I double this is declarer more or less likely to make this contract than if I pass? I'd say considerably more noting that he may have an 11 card fit and my Kx sits behind him as well as some queens he may be worried about etc etc etc.
If I double this are my partner and teammates likely to be looking for a different player next time? I'd say considerably likely since doubling is terrible.

Doubling is not a consideration.

I'd be very tempted to double on the previous round.
Doubling now could easily be right but it also might help declarer in the play so i'm going to pass.
