Hi all. Sorry about my english, not first language.
Im having an argue with my regular partner about this hand, and since both are pretty sure about each one's position, i ask for your opinion.
Playing IMPS, all red, on 2d position you have:
Axx
xxxx
AQTxx
x
The bidding goes: pass - pass - 1club - pass -
pass - double - pass - pass -
1 diamond
What would you bid over 1d? (i will post my opinion and my partner`s at the end of the day)
Tx.
Juan

Double. Penalty.
All doubles after a penalty pass are penalty doubles.

Since partner showed a penalty pass of 1♣, all my doubles are penalty. This makes my choice pretty easy: Dbl.

Easy double - Once partner has shown a penalty pass, our goal is to penalize them, even when they run. Therefore the double here must be penalty, and should be juicy.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Tx for all replies.
The hand was held by my partner, who is indeed far better player than i am (and he's also my father, by the way, imagine the family crisis :) ). He opted to pass, and after i bid 1NT (holding xxx KQx xx AKQxx) claimed i had to x myself.
My point is:
partner pass says: I have no penalty x to 1 ♦ (otherwise he shows it doubling of course).
First x to 1 ♣ suggested some values in suit.
He is passed hand, game seems to be out of the question (as it is)
So i opted to bid 1NT, (placing ♦ stopper on p hand).
Actually, he showed FOUR ♦ stoppers, and we could score some 800 instead the 120 we did.
Please, feel free to share your opinions about the hand.

I like the basic principle that you can only double one suit for takeout. After a takeout double, any double of a different suit is penalty.

They might not have stayed in 1♦X. It looks like you have pretty good defence against 1♠ as well though it wouldn't be 800.

My "meta-rule":
Double is for penalty if Either of us has made an earlier penalty double (or a penalty pass of a takeout double).

I voted for other but I meant Pass.

After a take-out double has been turned into penalty any double is penalty.
