Sometimes when Partner makes a take out double your best suit is the opponents suit!

For instance my Partner makes a take out double of my LHO opening 1♣ bid and I have:
♠A2
♥2
♦K93
♣KQT9874

Partner is asking me to bid ANYHING but ♣ but ♣ is the ONLY suit I have!!! What do I do?!?

Pass of course. By Passing I am converting the original take out double to a penalty double. I are saying "I have the ♣ covered Partner! They won't make this contract!"

Take another hand:
♠K2
♥KJ8
♦9732
♣KQT9

Here my best suit is also the opponents suit. But I don't have a lot of trump. I can't really Pass in this situation. Hmmmmm. What to do?

If you have strength but not length in that suit you can bid NT. The level of NT you bid depends on the number of HCP you have. You MUST have a guaranteed trick in the Opponents suit to bid NT. Preferably two tricks in their suit!

HCP	Bid
8-10	1NT
11-12	2NT
13 or more	3NT

Some books say to bid 1NT with 6-10 HCP. I recommend 8 HCP. Remember, when your Partner makes a take out double bid they might only have 10 HCP. The 13 points they are counting INCLUDES Dummy points. You don't get to count Dummy points for shortness when you are playing in NT. So Partner is down to 10 HCP. If you only have 6 HCP the opponents might have 24 HCP between them. NT is probably not the best place to play then. So be safe and have at least 8 HCP to bid NT.

So with that in mind what do you respond with each of these hands when your LHO opens the bidding 1♣, Partner says "Double" and your RHO Passes?
