Comments: We are playing Acol.

And David's Response:
Hi Sartaj,

It looks best to make a takeout double.
Should partner bid 2S, 2NT or 3C I will follow up with 3H.
If partner passes the double I am happy.
Partner seems to have less than 3 hearts as he/she has not made a support double. I am not keen on bidding an immediate 3H (invitational), as partner will expect a hand with stronger heart honour strength - say
