support imo, we have a great hand for hearts and it will be hard to convince partner we have 4 hearts otherwise.

Since it is very related, who plays this DBL as support and who plays it as penalty (♣) please ? I had a long debate with a good player about this, i would like to know what others think.

I would support pd by bidding ♥ Manu.

There's a related thread around here, except it was

1♣ - pass - 1♠ - 2♠;
?

As I recall, dbl here shows a good hand with 2-3 spades.

In the OP's auction, dbl is support.

Good question, Timo. If we used support doubles I guess it would be one, in the given auction; but would wish it weren't at this vul with one or two fewer hearts and this club holding.

Anyway, on to the 2H bandwagon.

If I played support doubles, I'd play it as support. We're not very likely to have a penalty double of clubs here.
... 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

For this hand, I'll raise H.

I think it's good for IMP to play double as penalty oriented, because those times when you are able to penalize opps, it can be really juicy to compensate the difficulty to tell the difference between 3 card and 4 card raises. For MP, either way should be fine.
