You deal at love all playing as a visitor with a partner who is very sensible indeed and has 530 greens to his name! You are on 60% (after 18 boards out of 26) in a field of 24.

You are playing take-out doubles here & therefore the choice is a straightforward double or pass.

High-level decision

You deal yourself a 3 count and Pass, game all, pairs, mid- div 2 level oppo., not shooting.

Pass, Double and 5H all spring to mind, with a possible 5D open for the left-field contingent!

1NT is 12-14 and 2H is a RST. Partner can break with 4-card support. The two most sensible bids to me seem to be Pass or 3D - but you can only bid one of these at the table!
