rogerclee Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Double is penalty. If I had wanted to make a double showing takeout or general values, I would have done something over 1♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Double is penalty. If I had wanted to make a double showing takeout or general values, I would have done something over 1♥. Nothing to add to what Roger said ! Obvious penalty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sorry saw auction wrong. Agree with penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Penalty, but I know of at least one very very old book that claims it as a light takeout, so it's not totally unheard of to play takeout but clearly it's penalty now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 It is possible to play this double at w/r as 'save suggesting'. Not without discussion however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTired Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 they bid game, neither partner enters the auction previously and suddenly dbl is takeout? Or anything other than 100% penalty. Sheesh. If my partner pulled this dbl, I would be furious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sheesh. If my partner pulled this dbl, I would be furious. Do you mean that? I honestly can't remember the last time I was furious at a bridge partner. And, I find it hard to imagine that a successful partnership could work this way.
