Help
1X p 1Y p
1NT p p D
this could be
1. take out with both other suits but weaker then direct double
2. abit offshape double with good hand something like 12 hcp with 43 other suits
3. penalty with good holding in suit Y and maybe short in X
4. showing one of their suits and on of the other suits and a good hand.
All these has logic, what do you prefer ?

Luck has it....x here means
long minor or both majors for me(modified Dont)

If "X" is a minor and "Y" a major, I expect this delayed double to be "minors."
Even if "Y" is 1♦, I still expect "minors."
If both majors (1♥-P-1♠), now I expect one minor and spades.

You could have made a takeout double on the previous round.

i think mike lawrence has this as one of those "long or short in y" doubles, leaving it for pard to guess which kind it is by looking at his hand
