Surely Double.
But how much less to still double?
Without DJ? Yes. CJ? No.
Missing both DJ+CJ but DK > DQ? No. DA > DQ? Yes.

at MP (where its only 1 board) I have no trouble with x.
at IMPS opposite a passed partner the risk vs reward ratio seems to tilt
in favor of pass. We need p to be close to max for a passed hand to make
game and looming to our left is a still unlimited opponent who may just
be waiting to use the biggest hammer ever invented to x whatever we do.
I do not see the benefit of x here at IMPS distribution is too boring.

Clear double but switch S and D and ill probably pass.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

I'm a strong overcaller of preempts (I like partner bidding game with the appropriate hand and having play), and I'm doubling. If partner bids 4♠, we'll have play.
Sure, we can still be 800 into nothing, but what are preempts for?
Oddly enough, if I was going to lose a jack, I'd rather lose the club J than the diamond. Am I wrong here?

Yes, tell them Wangzhi !
These guys have no clue that DBL of 3♥ is a transfer to 3♠ with no where else to play, and pass over 3 ♥ shows 13 hcp with this shape in the hands of a wimp
