IMP pairs, all red. I found this mildy annoying.

If I had to write down what a double after an initial negative double looked like it would strongly resemble this hand.

I agree and fold my cards and put them in my pocket. I'll win the post mortem.

Agree with Phil, this is a perfect hand for this double. If partner passes I'm very happy. If partner bids, I'm also happy.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I can't wait for season 2 to begin either!

Until then, I will just double again.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Looks like another TOX. Unless, that is, you're playing with anyone over 65 in which case it will get passed and go for 670, so you might need to try 3C.

Not very original: double.

This is sort of like the problem of what to do with 4♠/4♥/5♦/0♣ and 5 HCP after partner opens 1NT. You might for some reason find that situation annoying, as well, but I would find it rather easy and hence not too annoying.

Apparently much simpler than I thought. I was thinking that with the ♥Q potentially worthless, this hand looks like a close to minimum neg x. Seems that thinking is wrong.
