This is the CLASSIC hand for a power double in my system (1NT is a three suited t/o).

Without power doubles, I bid 2D because I have a partner. Doubling forces you into going wrong when pard doubles their 1/2S bid over the double. Just bid your God-given suit.

2D. Without a free raise from partner this hand most likely isn't going anywhere.
