Hi, East opens 1♣ when South was the dealer, not condoned. South then opens 1♣ passed around to east. The East bid of 1C is better minor,guaranteeing minimum of 3 Clubs. What could be considered comparable call - could a double be comparable in this situation. I think 2C could be comparable i don't think it could be a Michael's Cue Bid so possibly 2C here could be a genuine Club Suit - problem is 1C could show as little as 3 clubs.I look forward to read your comments. Same scenario this time East bids 2♣ - 19 - 21, 8 playing tricks, not condoned. South opens 1♠ passed around to east - what would be comparable in this situation - double seems as possibility or maybe even 2NT - though 2NT could be for the lowest unbid suits if that is in their system. Many thanks
