West's double is silly.

Does it justify the 4♣ bid?

Well, think about what West is supposed to have. Say ♠Ax ♥x ♦Qxxx ♣KQJxxx. Which contract would you like to be in?

Close call... especially if West has the 2+H the double description claims... Either way, very easy to go -200. (Sorry, I should have specified we're playing matchpoints.)

Ah, I missed "2+H" in the description... it should be "2-H" if you ask me... no wonder I consider it silly. ;)
