I don't know whether he psyched or just bad break, I passed at table. I'm not sure if double here is penalty to show initial trap pass. What do you think?

NO, it's still take-out. So I'm afraid you're passing again. Partner is likely to be short in hearts, and didn't reopen, so he has very little. Take the sure plus

Having said that, I would have overcalled 1NT

Don't understand the question. From what you posted, you seemed to be the opener.

I think he meant the auction went:

P P 1H P
2H P P ?

and he was in 4th seat

Pass. Sometimes you are fixed; stay fixed then. Double is for take-out. An off-shape 1NT overcall would have been an option on your first turn.

Pass, and don't worry. Pard didn't make a move, so game is unlikely. In any case opps are set to go down.

Double is for take out, but if partner has void he might guess what is going on, of course if he doesn't you are in trouble :).

Dbl is takeout, I would pass with no problems.

Another question here is who has spades?

:D better to hide in shadow, 90% your p has long S, no H and very few or no points.

Hi,

Pass.

Double is for takeout, promising 4 spade and 4 cards in
another minor. If you would have hold 4 spades and 4-4 in
both minors, you would have doubled the round before.


With kind regards
