Matchpoints, you are vul, all play SAYC (opps unknown, possibly weak)
P deals and passes
RHO passes
you hold
♠KT
♥KJ87
♦A75432
♣Q
and open 1♦
LHO dbles an P rdbles (normal: no d fit, at least 10 HCP, may have a 4-card major)
RHO bids 1♠ (not 2, sorry, correction)
Do you pass and wait or do you show your long ♦suit or even your ♥?
If you pass, what would be a hand to bid 2♦with?

I wait. If partner wants to double 2S I'm happy. This is a sound opening with good defensive potential.

2♦ should show diamonds and hearts if partner is on his toes about subtle inferences.
Bidding 2♦ immediately after a redouble should show a weak opening hand, however, opposite a passed partner, you should just open 2♦ if your hand has no interest in game opposite the best hand partner could hold, so the only reason to open at the 1 level must be having another spot to play: it must be hearts. Subtle, but I've had partner's who could get that right.
