What are these DBL's fo you (The first bidding appeared on rgb with a hand and some posters - nobody objecting - suggested a takeout DBL. I would think it is penalty after you first showed values in their suit):
(1x)-1NT-(2x)-P-
(P)-DBL
(1x)-1NT-(2x)-DBL
We had this auction yesterday at MP's.
(1♣)-P-(2♣)-P
(P)-DBL-(P)-2NT
(3♣)-P-(P)-DBL

1) We have discussed before and I think there was a majority for penalty. I would have thought it was whatever double we play when they interfere over our 1NT opening.
2) If 1) is penalty this should be as well and if 1) is t/o this should be as well, I think.
3) Penalty.

The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

(1) Penalty, because it's impossible to hold a takeout double.
(2) Takeout, because I want to be able to bid sensibly. I don't see anything wrong with playing overcaller's and advancer's doubles differently.
(3) Penalty-oriented. With a hand that knows it wants to play in 3 of a red suit, you can bid your lowest suit over 3C. With a hand that wants to drive game, you would have bid 3C rather than 2NT.

... 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

I think your answers make a lot of sense, although 2 makes even more sense to play as takeout than if our side had opened 1NT instead.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

1) Penalty. Some have a style of being quick to prefer 1NT over a takeout double if in range. With that style a later double should be for takeout.
2) Take-out. I would hate to play this differently no matter the rest of my system.

1) Is totally penalty. If I had a t/o double I double 1X
2) Takeout. If LHO has X, CHO has X, and RHO has X.....
3) Totally penalty. I'm trying to find a fit in my non-4-card suit at the 3-level after not doing so at the 2-level?
