Help
I am sympathetic to the style that 1S "tends to show" 5, and that the shapeless 4333s and 4342s either bid 1NT or pass the double -- but this isn't shapeless, we aren't going to pass, and we might as well show our suit such as it is. Hearing partner compete to 2S over 2H won't be the end of the world.
Bid over tox

I don't think she asked if it ever happens.
I play a lot of hands, and i play this Rdbl for business, but to be honest i dont think i punished opps more than 2 times a year. So she is right, i wouldn't mind playing xx here for better purposes.
