Pass. I don'y expect to beat this profitably (e.g. more than 1) when partner can't find a balancing X. Partner can't have heart length on this auction, so I'm not worried about getting passed out when it's right to act.

Pass. Too balanced for me.

Balancing double? Partner has already passed over 2♥. I am pretty confident partner won't be making a penalty double here.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Pass. Should be unanimous beginning with the second response.

Pass. There is no reason to think they aren't bidding to make.

Pass I stay fixed.

I need about another king before I bid at this level with this sort of distribution.

Double. Assumed 2♥ as single suiter weak.

I'd rather be lucky than good.

Auto-pass. Move a heart to a spade and I'd double.

there may be times that double will profit but pass is FAR more reasonable IMO as double as tons to lose.
All IMO. Junior wanting to soak up all the knowledge he can.

That's funny. Despite me being the only one to double, I can make a better case for pass than the rest:

4♥ is usually bid either on power, in which case you're in trouble if you double, or shape, in which case pard is short in hearts and didn't double 1st round, thus he's broke and you got no shape to compensate.
