Doubled partscore at teams

16 board swiss teams, they are vul, we are not, LHO is a good player. You are south and make a takeout X as a passed hand. Partners X is penalty.

 

Pass or bid on? Is this a wtp?

What if partner was dealer and a passed hand?

Easy pass. I'm a passed hand and I have pretty good defensive values. Partner won't make a borderline double at IMPs, so I'm anticipating a couple of undertricks. Partner has good trumps and something in addition. And probably a good lead.

 

 

Oops, forgot I was in the B/I forum. :unsure:

No need to use hidden imho. I asked to get answers from A/E and to learn from them.

What do you think LHO has for his vul against not 3?

I'm not that concerned about LHO's hand. But I expect him/her to have stepped a little out of line with that rebid. I'm used to having partners I can trust when it comes to doubling partscores at IMPs. And I act accordingly.

Opener probably has a hand a little too good for an initial weak two-bid. Or, maybe a flawed weak two-bid, something like a side four-card spade suit or void.

 

I expect that partner has the best hand at the table. Probably 1 1/2 trump tricks and values on the side -- a hand that wasn't quite good enough to make a 1NT overcall.

 

There is certainly a danger that the opponents have a club semi-fit and diamond shortness and will take quite a few tricks in 3HX. But, I think in the long run double will be a winner.
