Playing against a weak no trump (good 11 to 14), partner's double is a hand with a good 14+, either 3 suited or balanced, and XX shows a good hand. By agreement, 2 diamonds is a 5 card suit and a weak hand. After that it appears the opps have had a bit of a misunderstanding. Do you whack this?

Pass for me, but I don't think double is crazy.

 

I don't expect them to make, so -510 should be relatively rare.

And, I think it won't be uncommon for best defense to keep them to 8 tricks, for 300 if we double. But, most likely with single-dummy defense we won't get all of our tricks, and doubling for one down is not sensible.

 

If the opponents are really having a misunderstanding, perhaps we can double 5 in a minute. :D

Pass... at IMPs I think this is favorite to get set, but certainly not enough gain to justify doubling them into game as our trumps are weakish, we likely only contribute 1 trick to defence, and the opps just might have 8 and 22 HCP and make 10 tricks.

 

At MP's doubling and trying for 200+ would be my call needing a swing (which is most of the time :rolleyes: )
