I think it does, but both players passed in a match this evening (so I may have to resign from the Squadra Senilia). Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingyis Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 with the people i normally play with, double.it depends on partnership style, but it's correct for 90% of people out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 1NT for 3 suit t/o; perfect. Dwayne, my man! Are you playing Overcall Structure with LL in Nashville? I'll take a call. On the days I'm not playing OS, I'm glad to take a call and stay at the one level. Otherwise, I get the double-edged sword of preempting the opps to the 2 level, while (potentially) risking a larger penalty with a 1NTO.

mikeh Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 On a different thread I advocated a pass of 1♣ with more hcp and 4=4=2=3 shape, but felt it was close. Here, I double, and don't think it is (as) close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'm of a particularly sound bidding theory (against LIA overcalls) as it pertains to direct overcalls at IMPs, feeling that usually no action should be taken (except of course wild-ass jumps on junk) that has no preemptive value unless you can imagine some game that might plausibly be bid. So, I imagine a relatively non-exciting hand for Advancer, like ♠AQxx ♥x ♦xxx ♣Qxxxx. Game makes enough opposite that hand. I ain't opening that, and I open crap (this one is admittedly close, but not enough). My partner sometimes pukes when he sees what I open, so he ain't opening that either. So, I'm good enough to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Double looks normal. Might be different for "Italian"-style doublers. Change the suits around, so I've got xx spade over a 1♠ opening, and it's a fairly obvious pass for me. Think I'm still doubling over 1♥.

Finch Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Double, but it's fairly close. If I had to bid 1NT to show a 3-suited takeout, I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTired Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 obvious X for me. although a little lite for initial X, 44 in majors makes up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 1NT for 3 suit t/o; perfect. Huh? Is there some problem with double in your system Dwayne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 1NT for 3 suit t/o; perfect. Huh? Is there some problem with double in your system Dwayne? If you play 1NT for 3 suited t/o, you play double as 15+ balanced (or very strong). Basically, switch X and 1NT overcalls, only 1NT t/o can be lighter and is limited, while X showing balanced can be stronger than the usual 15-18 or whatever.
