Partner overcalls at the one level and responder bids 1NT. How do you play advancer's double? i.e.

(1♣)-1♥-(1NT)-X

Does it matter what the auction is, say major vs minor suits bid, etc?

Other two suits, and for simplicity I don't play that minors vs. majors matters. In my experience, partner's always the joker, so penalty is a poor treatment. Being 5-5 in the other two suits does come up (albeit rarely) and it's priceless when it does. I love this treatment so much that my partners often refer to this as "Eugene's favorite double".

Takeout, how else can you find a 4-4 ♠ fit?
