1. 1♦ (3♦* stopper ask) X = what is double here? Values or a diamond honour?
2. (1♣) 1♠ (X) XX = what is redouble? misfit suggesting penalties? a spade honour?
Thanks! John

Is there a standard treatment for these two doubles? Thanks

IMO, the standard for #1 is a Neg double -- treating the 3D bid as if it were a Club overcall.
#2.. Dunno. We like high honor doubleton; but I don't think there is a "standard". Some say high honor doubleton with some values, we don't. "Tolerance" 2-card fit in spades with some values and a flaw to prevent bidding NT seems popular as well.

#1 no idea, but the seq. is seldom enough.
We would play this as showing a top honor.
#2 undiscussed this a sure way for getting burned, ... for
us it would show power, and the willingness to play 1SXX,
Rosenkrantz (top honor is certainly sensible).
With kind regards
Marlowe

1)♦A; alt= "I was going to bid that".
2)Either ♠Ax or ♠Kx (conventional). Alt: strength (9+) with no clear direction.
