helene_t Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 One participant had an accident on the wednesday walk and had to be taken to surgery on thursday, so that both the TD and his wife had to fill in to make the number complete. On this board, you're the TD's wife, playing with me, and your RHO is your husband, the TD. So far your husband has been teasing you with a number of doubles and redoubles, and on this board your p (me) took revanche. But what does the double ask for? Matchpoints, none vul. Your preempt style is intermediate, diciplined.2♥-(3♦)-pass-3NTpass-pass-X-a.p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your preempt style is intermediate, diciplined.2♥-(3♦)-pass-3NTpass-pass-X-a.p. I'm used to it meaning 'lead your suit', since otherwise you might be scared to if your suit is poor and RHO claims to have your suit well stopped. I can see an argument for it showing diamonds, but usually on this auction declarer can't make it without diamonds, so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Low ♥. I also think that's the standard meaning, but I wonder how useful it is. Partner can never know that the heart suit can be set up when he couldn't raise 2♥. On the other hand, a pure penalty double (opponents overbid and partner has diamonds controlled) is not infrequent on this auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I agree with you on that Arend.So If my suit allowed it, I'd make a standard sequence lead, expecting them to go down if partner did in fact have a pure penalty double (where he'd expect to beat them whatever I lead).

han Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Asks for a heart lead. I agree that partner may just have a penalty double that can stand a heart lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
