Guest Jlall Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Even a canadian would X with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Double. Rule of thumb for me is 18 count with a 6 card suit. So with 18HCP and a 5 card suit, or a 17 count with a 6 card suit I would tend to overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to know that when you double a suit for takeout, that is the only suit you can cuebid artificially on the next round. If you bid any other suit at your second turn it's natural, even if the opponents bid it after you doubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Even I would double first with this hand. It thus follows that overcalling would be more or less insane! :D Over (1♠) P (2♥), I'd continue with a natural 2♠. It's possible that LHO has his call.... but I doubt it.

gwnn Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Dbl, 2♠, try not to call partner crazy insulting names when he takes this as "cuebid" (cuebid to what??? 23 balanced with no spade stop?!?!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vuroth Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I would imagine that North was a tad bit disappointed by partner's 10 point reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
