rogerclee Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Don't understand the hate for this double? This is a completely routine card showing/takeout double, what else are you seriously going to bid with Axxxx x Kxx Kxxx etc, or basically any good 10 count with x or xx hearts.

P_Marlowe Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Card showing X doesn't promise a trump holding. I know, but what is partner suppossed to do inthe given situation? Bidding a 4 card side suit? As it is, for me both are penaltes, either youhave trump tricks, or you have defensive tricksoutside hearts. Of course partner can always run, if he has a hand,which is highly unusal. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
