Double Take


Recommended Posts

[hv=d=n&v=e&s=sa943hakjt92dj4ca]133|100|Scoring: MP

3* - (3) - P - (4)

P - (P) - ?[/hv]

*Very aggressive at these colours. Expect around 2-6 hcp.

 

After checking the backs of your cards, you find the opponents wanting to playing in hearts.

 

The question is, are you going to double?

Agree with Arend. I don't expect them to sit for 4x, and I'm not happy doubling them when they run.

1. case: 4 Heart was a shortness:

 

If I don´t double, I collect about 200 or 250, quite relaxing.

If I double and they run to 4 Spade and I will get 100 to 300.

If they run to 5 Diamond, I still will win 100 or 300, no way, that they ever will make anything.

 

2. Case: 4 Heart shows 5 Cards and they play their 5-2 Fit:

If I don`t double, I still get about 200, but if I double, they have no place to go and I collect 500+

 

I go for the double.

I don't think anything funny is going on. LHO has Q-6th, RHO has a stiff, and pard a void. RHO only has a moderate spade suit, since he didn't pull. LHO could have spade tolerance, but it could mean they are in a 5-2 fit.

 

Hmm....the defense looks obvious against 4; A, JACK establishing the tap.

 

I think I'd want to be at the table, but I think this is a hand I can double both 4 and 4 if you reason it out.

 

Oh, and sometimes they sit in 4...........
