RHO deals and opens 1♥, matchpoints, would you double if you were V/V? what about NV/V?

[frank0]

No, pass and if it goes 1H-p-2H-p-p then you double 2H.

 

An alternative choice is overcall 1S, which is OK for a good 4 card suit.

 

For our side vulnerable I strongly prefer pass.

[Zelandakh]

This is a style issue. If you routinely double based on strength rather than shape then this hand probably does not qualify. If your double is more shape-oriented then it probably is a double. Thus I would expect more votes for double from the UK than from the US. I have no problems with either style, the important thing is only that a pair agrees.

Yes white, no red.

Depends on pard, not on system. If he's trigger-happy, pass. Else dbl :)

 

Definitely dbl if pard is a passed hand (he won't have cards to take you too seriously lol).

[gnasher]

I'd double at any vulnerability. It may be a bit low on high cards, but they're all in the right place.

Same as Andy, i like this hand. And isn't being vulnerable makes it even harder to get in later ?

 

Say we are red vs white, are we happy with our first pass if it comes back at 3 level ?

 

1♥-pass-3♥ (weak) - pass - pass - ?

 

1♥-pass-3♣/♦(bergen)-pass-3♥- ?

 

1♥-pass-2♥-pass-3♥ (not invite)- ?

 

1♥-pass-3♣(wjs)-pass pass - ? (over this i'd DBL though if i passed teh first time, at mps)
