helene_t Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Should be penalty but unless opps are funny it looks unlikely. If they play 4-card majors I suppose p could theoretically have ♥AKQJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 It's penalties. It's inconceivable that partner has spades and diamonds, couldn't bid on the previous round, and now wants to play at the three or four level knowing of a strong hand on his left. In the given auction that's particularly clear, but I think that advancer's double should be penalties in all sequences where he passes the overcall and then doubles after opener protects, even this one: 1♥ 2♣ pass pass dbl pass 2♥ dble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewj Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeh, I agree, has to be blood. Partner could have something like KQT and dummy's unlikely to have many entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 X is penalty, ... at least strongly suggesting goingfor blood. Partner denied a club fit as well, if he has one, heshould have shown the fit the round before, hence 4C is out. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcurt Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Clearly penalty of course. But this is also a brutal lead problem, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Clearly penalty of course. But this is also a brutal lead problem, no? Not only is it a brutal lead problem, but it is also a brutal thread title and sub-heading. Please, no more Spice Girls references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I don't think it is a brutal lead problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 The double is penalties. Pass and lead a trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I think being able to lead trumps from a doubleton on this auction is pretty brutal - for the opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
