It used to be that under the suit was takeout with a doubleton in NB suit and a nice NT opener, but behind the NB was penalty. I still like that, but will get out-voted.

Nevertheless A=pen, B= t/o is my story, and sticking to it.

take out and take out, no second option here. You never have a penalty double of 2 bananas anyway
