Was it the right decision ?
One Sunday night, I’ve watched Isabelle play against the girls from the Netherlands. They had a competitive auction in the deal she just played and she doubled the opponents in 5 Clubs for just made.
Isabelle blames her partner for not running to 5♥ for -200, even doubled, rather than -750 given that both sides were vulnerable.
Isabelle : “Don’t you think that Garance should have bid on after my Double? It’s not a penalty Double, is it?”

PASS
Probably both 5 h and 5 clubs are off however partner as partner is marked with a bust the priority is to give 5 clubs best chances of failing. 5 hearts can easily be minus 3 likely minus 2 so 5 hearts against an uncertain game is against the odds not giving oppo.any more information than they have with 2 hearts overall makes a plus more likely the game is freely bid DBL.a high risk low return gamble I agree pass in tempo then you may get away with low diamond
