gnasher Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 If I were designing methods for delayed action of this sort, I'd play 4♠ as one specific two-suiter and double as the other specific two-suiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 If we are puritanical about our 1♠ overcalls, requiring a suit for the bid and all that sort of silly stuff, then this delayed double really should show 5 spades. Is 4♠ the winning bid? Or 4NT? (partner is 5062) :blink: Actually, a 4♠ call should show a weak two suiter, I think.Yes, it should probably show that. But I would be very eager to leave 4♥X as an option. 590<<1100, you know :huh:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Two points: --Is it just barely possible that sometimes pard will pass opposite the 4-0-5-4 hand double sometimes? Of course the hearts will be under Opener, but dummy should have limited entries too. ---Also, if the hand over the opener has a heart stack, isn't it possible that 4th seat finds a double with a 4054 or similar? Personally, I would rather play the double as 2-way (figure it out) than penalty. These seem to work out better in practice than they do on paper.
