This is a flat 10-count with wasted values in opener's suit? I like to compete, but this looks to be on the wrong side of the line unless you have specific agreements.

I know I know this is the time P has 55 in the pointed suits and we have a great sac. Tooo bad. When p does NOT have such a miraculous hand, taking any action will most assuredly aid the opps in whatever contract they end up in. IMHO PASS

I think you need to double with this hand at matchpoints, but at IMPs I prefer a double to be constructive, even at these colours.

Not even close to a double. If the auction peters out we can stick our neck out later.

I answered obvious X but some one then maliciously erased the « pass 2H pass pass » end of the sequence, and now I look a little silly 😉

The fact that RHO opened 3rd and might be weak doesn’t make my hand any stronger (especially with Qx in the suit)...

I double now so that, if it goes (2H)-P-(P) I don't have to double then.

Dble would not be my selection even if I was offered money. Those queens are only good in a gay bar.
