negative double?

Let's see, a double shows both minors and strength for the 3-level. Uhm, that's what I've got. Thus I double. B)

 

Of course my hand isn't perfect for this action, but I can't wait for those perfectos - then I'll be passing far too much.

 

If partner rebids 3 I can live with that.

I had a very similar hand yesterday ...

 

Ax

KJxx

10xxxxx

 

on a slightly different auction

 

(1) 1 (2) ?

 

I doubled here. My hand was a little better with Ax in support of partner but partner had shown less with an overcall compared with an opening bid and your suits are slightly better.

 

I would still double.

Unlucky for the doublers, pard has 4531 and you get hacked off in 3, going off two.

 

I play the same convention and i have seen how easy it is to go for numbers over IJOs with negative doubles. I considered this a close decision, but it was early in a long match and didn't want to wuss out with 35 boards left to play.
