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!

Not a lot of opportunities this good at the one level to post a big #. Easy x.

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.
