1♠ 2♣ p p
X P 2♦ P
2♥/2♠

You opened 1♠ LHO overcalled 2♣ partner and RHO passed, and you reopen with a double, partner bid 2♦(or 2♥) and you correct it into your suit/s.
Did you show extra ?

Definite YES if you correct to 2♠ and a clear yes if you correct to 2♥. A minimal 5422 hand would bid 2♥ directly, a minimal 5413 hand would pass, a minimal 6421 hand has to bid 2♥ or 2♠ directly.

I don't think so. But you definitely showed club shortage.

This isn't clear-cut, though. Probably something to discuss with pard.

Of course it shows extras and cherdano described the logic of why.

i don't think it shows extras, i think opener is 5422 and reopened in case his partner wanted to leave it in, and now he's offering a choice of contracts... i think he'd cue with extras instead of doubling or even after doubling (tho that might be misunderstood as diamond support)
