enough to double?

I learned the rule of 6 8 and 10 to double on the 1./2./3. level. SO I have enough HCps. But I have minimum and the wrong shape, so easy pass.

 

♠ Jx

♥ J10xx

♦ J10xx

♣ KQx

 

had been an auto double.

I wouldn't mind a double with more of a classic/true neg X shape, i.e.

 

xx J10xx J10x KQ10x

 

(a jack less even), as you can withstand with whatever partner does. I won't claim it to be the greatest negative double, but it would be tolerable.

 

This particular hand is both the wrong shape, and wrong count for the neg X, though. You will be poorly placed over a 3C call, and 3D will not be that great either.

Clear pass with 8 HCP, lotsa jacks, only 3 cards in and a mediocre at best 4 card suit.

 

PD is allowed to balance if we pass, or perhaps the opps get too high and I can take a whack at them in .

 

Pass...not close to good enough to force PD to the 3 level by a direct negX.
