pclayton Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Never thought about it, but I'd say a King to an Ace difference. Assuming the x's and y's are 1♦ - dbl - 1♥ - 2♥ and 1♦ - dbl - 1♥ - pass2♣ - pass - pass - 2♥ I'd bid 2♥ on the 1st holding: ♠Qxx ♥AQJxx ♦xx ♣xxx On the 2nd, ♠xxx ♥AQxxx ♦xx ♣xxx looks right to me.

whereagles Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 auction 1 should show a stronger handauction 2 is more like a distributional hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Auction 1 is stronger. (although it's hard to think of a hand that can't double 1y but is prepared to bid 2y next round - so it's also possible in an inexperienced partnership that 4th hand is worried that partner will misinterpret 2y on the first round) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeout doubler was relatively weak player, 2S bidder a very strong player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
