Matchpoints as always.

I've found myself doubling rather than passing more and more on hands like this but not sure if I should be a bit more disciplined!!

Thanks,

I think you'd find that almost all good players would double with this, but most of them would consider this to be about the worst hand they could hold.

I'd double but would often pass similar 11 counts. I double because of the hearts and the fact that I have Aces and Kings in my 11 count. In addition, I am white v red. I would pass red v white, tho I suspect that I'd be in the minority there.
