Guest Jlall Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 double, I have a 3 suited hand with short hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 2♣, then double. I would agree with double as long as i had at least one spade honour, and playing in a 4-3♠ fit won't be too often a bad contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I usually double with this shape. The excellent clubs are tempting but I still double. I will stop doubling when there is a law that partner cannot have five spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I will stop doubling when there is a law that partner cannot have five spades. There is. If he has 5 of those and 5-10 hcp, he'd have opened a NV 5-card weak 2 :) Anyway, if I bid 2♣ and then dbl, pard will bid 2♠ and I'll be left in the moysian. If I dbl I can later bid 2/3♣ and, if pard rebids spades, I have the guarantee of a fit. So dbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrothgar Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Prefer 2♣ on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I really like 2♣ here. Do I want to encourage pard to over-compete with 4♠'s? If I double, I think I am poorly placed after ..2♥ - p - p or 3♥ - p - p, but if I overcall, a reopening x describes this hand very nicely. I doubt pard will be on lead, but he might be if LHO plays NT or spades. I think I'd like a club lead here, especially against NT. Move my ♣K to spades, and a double would standout. Or, remove my ♣K so this becomes a one-bid hand and I would also double. 4 comments for 2♣ and only 2 votes??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'd overcall 2♣ here. Frankly, I think it's very close to double. But playing in Norway double just isn't an issue on hands like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think double is just taking a good idea too far. 2♣ then double is way more descriptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finally17 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Not that Josh needs my support, but "good idea too far" is a good description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
