Responding to a Takeout Double

When partner makes a takeout double, you are expected to bid, even if you have no points. This can feel rather daunting, but it's crucial to trust your partner and show your best suit. Take a look at two different responding hands to work out the best way forward.

On the first hand, east should not pass 2H but bid 2S, the level of the fit. -50 is better than -110 or even -140 on this layout.

[@oasisbridgetuition]

Yes, this should work, but difficult to bid as this Acol opening of 1S only promises a 4-card suit.
