Matchpoints, none vulnerable. You deal yourself ♠T9xx ♥xxx ♦AK9x ♣Kx and pass. Pass, partner opens 1♦, RHO overcalls 2♣. Now what?

Double. One major and diamond support is enough.

Double of course.
When does this hand get interesting?

Clear double, I'm not upset if partner bids 4♥, in fact I may pass that depending on my mood :)

If i was moving threads out of interesting forum, I am pretty sure I would move this one. I can only assume the double worked out badly when this hand occurred and bidding 2♦ would have worked out better, but that doesn't change the "correctness" of the double.

2♦, but for me this is still inverted, 4+♦, 10+ points not denying a 4 card major.

Sounds pretty unplayable... How on earth do you discover major suit fits without getting too high?

Partner bids one if he has one next (unless he wants to FG), we're F3♦.

Actually my partner had the given hand, and I responded 2♥ on ♠Kxx ♥AKx ♦Txxx ♣Axx. 2♥-3 was a near-bottom result. I actually agreed with double but thought it was much closer... sorry for being so boring.

Your partner might have come up with 3♦ over 2♥.

Yeah .. double doesn't mean you have to pass partner's response. When he bids 2♥ you bid 3♦ and it shows this hand.
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it then how bad a decision could it really be?
