Ant590 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 This topic is kind of an extension of Haoni5's bidding problem in http://forums.bridgebase.com/index.php?showtopic=29949 In short, what is 'expert standard' in the sequences a] 2♣ - (2x) - b] 2♣ - (3x) - c] 2♣ - (dbl) - d] 2♣ - (pass) - 2♦ - (2x) - I'm sure someone told me once that in a], b] and c] (re)double shows a weaker hand than pass, but I'm not so sure of the merits of this. Thanks.Ant. P.s. If it matters, our general sturcture after 2♣ is2♦ = semi positive or better2♥ = double negative2♠ = 8-10 bal or 14+ bal2NT+ = transfers showing a semi-solid suit or better (opener completes to set suit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I don't know. Bridge World Standard is:If two clubs is overcalled, responder’s double shows double-negative strength and a pass is forcing. Opener’s double of the overcall shows a balanced hand. There is no agreement about responder’s actions after two clubs is doubled.I play this, including "no explicit agreement after they double 2C". :rolleyes: Will follow up on that one.
