The big trouble with doubling on this type of hand, even though you had a nasty surprise for declarer, is that the bad trump break is no longer a surprise, so he can play accordingly. heart7 plays on your fears that South will take a deep finesse but if you decided to split your heart honours (or lead a high heart at trick one) .
