4 showing a minimum hand with long . Any bid on 3 level should be stronger.

This is very non-standard. Jumps over an enemy preempt should show extra strength. If you have to double with strong one-suiters, you may well have to introduce you suit at the 5-level.

 

With a weak hand, just pass. You can always sac in the next round if that's what you want.

 

I voted for 3 but I think pass is reasonable. It's quite likely that nobody can make anything.

Actually, this hand brings about some bad memories. At an international tournament, both red, I once held something like

pard RHO me LHO

pass 3 .. 3 . dbl

 

and now we go -800.

 

This sort of stuff happened for 10 days in a row at that tournament, which is why I'm pretty sure Directors selected some hands. I mean.. 50% of the hands were misfits and the rest magical fits? gimme a break...
