I would pass. The key is that partner is a passed hand. If RHO were the dealer, then it's a different auction (partner could have quite a good hand, but no good bid).


Partner passed over 1♣ but is not a passed hand.

Good problem

Reasons for doubling

- both majors
- short clubs
- white / white

Reasons to pass

- slight risk of pushing them into a better 1N contract

- defending 1C may be more profitable than +80 or +110

- horrible ODR

It's very close and may come down to my perceived style of the opponents.

- horrible ODR ___ 4 HCP in queens and jacks outside of clubs. super horrible ODR.

As in you still think it's a clear X? Or as in you had second thoughts?

I'm making a reopening call. Depending on our balancing agreements, it'll most likely be double.

Yep, once in a while opener will have a big hand. But more often partner will have a hand with values and some ♣ that's not able to double, bid NT, or overcall.
