Playing matchpoints. Both you and the Opponents are vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠K7
♥KJ7
♦Q3
♣AKQJ98
Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) opens the bidding 1NT. What is your call?

How about Double?
This is a PENALTY Double. You are saying you have the equivalent of the upper range of the Opponent's 1NT bid. So about 17 or more in this case.
I would also HIGHLY recommend that you have a GOOD STRONG SUIT LEAD. Don't just do this because you have a balanced hand with 17 HCP all in Kings and Jacks. Your RHO will keep throwing you in and you might have to lead into their AQ holdings!
But with this hand I think we can both agree you have a very good lead with the ♣ suit!
