Help
Shockingly I was the junior at the other table.
Having read this thread I think there is a very strong case for double to be either GF or willing to pass whatever Partner bids, almost lebensol style. I will suggest this to my partners.
Too close to call?

Perhaps I should have added that pass was the winning call on this occasion. The par score is nine tricks in a major, but with a maximum and 4-4 majors partner will respond 4♣.

I suspect you were cooked on this hand no matter the interference. If you are going to TOX 3♣ you were probably going to Stayman over RHO's pass; passing partner's 2♦ response and raising his 2M to 3M which based on comments he would raise to 4M. Personally I think pass of 3♣ was the right choice as I would play X as penalty and over RHO's pass I'd Stayman and pass the response.
