MP, best hand south.

I guessed right to bid 4H, for 96% of the MP mainly because 9 other Souths guessed to pass the double. None of us were particularly helped by the explanation of the double.

First off, it says that it shows 9-11 HCP. It only has 7

Second off, it says that it shows 10 -12 total points. It only has 8

Third off, it says nothing about its distribution, or its suitability to defend v declare.

In fact if it is passable then it is an absurd call.
