The double with a C doubleton and
a minimum 1 NT response. This double is penalty oriented.
Why double them in their 8-9 card club fit
when you can simply bid 2H, showing 3 card sup****t?

I also open a 12-14 NT with the N hand - the
4333 15 count with two totally empty suits is
not a strong NT opener.

N's final pass is fine, though.
