kgr Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 What are these DBL's fo you (The first bidding appeared on rgb with a hand and some posters - nobody objecting - suggested a takeout DBL. I would think it is penalty after you first showed values in their suit): (1x)-1NT-(2x)-P-(P)-DBL (1x)-1NT-(2x)-DBL We had this auction yesterday at MP's.(1♣)-P-(2♣)-P(P)-DBL-(P)-2NT(3♣)-P-(P)-DBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 1) We have discussed before and I think there was a majority for penalty. I would have thought it was whatever double we play when they interfere over our 1NT opening. 2) If 1) is penalty this should be as well and if 1) is t/o this should be as well, I think. 3) Penalty.

gnasher Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (1) Penalty, because it's impossible to hold a takeout double. (2) Takeout, because I want to be able to bid sensibly. I don't see anything wrong with playing overcaller's and advancer's doubles differently. (3) Penalty-oriented. With a hand that knows it wants to play in 3 of a red suit, you can bid your lowest suit over 3C. With a hand that wants to drive game, you would have bid 3C rather than 2NT.

I think your answers make a lot of sense, although 2 makes even more sense to play as takeout than if our side had opened 1NT instead.

MFA Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 1) Penalty. Some have a style of being quick to prefer 1NT over a takeout double if in range. With that style a later double should be for takeout. 2) Take-out. I would hate to play this differently no matter the rest of my system. 3) Penalty.

kfay Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 1) Is totally penalty. If I had a t/o double I double 1X 2) Takeout. If LHO has X, CHO has X, and RHO has X..... 3) Totally penalty. I'm trying to find a fit in my non-4-card suit at the 3-level after not doing so at the 2-level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 1) Penalty. 2) Takeout. 3) Penalty, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
