Han, the other table did pass it out at 4SX. Making -590.

While I wouldn't pass with your hand in 1st seat, the mistake was clearly at the other table. Passing 4SX really shows a basic misunderstanding about what the double shows, and misjudgment too.

This depends on partnership agreement. I don't think you can know what their agreement was.

FWIW, I play a double of 4S as primarily penalty. Works for me.

Whether to remove the double on this hand would be a close call. I would proably bid 5C, bet I wouldn't blame a partner for passing.

It doesn't matter what your agreement for the double is. Partner can't wait for a trump stack, there are strong balanced hands with which he will just have to double. Not pulling with this 6-5 hand is always wrong imo.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
