TimG Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 IMPs, none vul, you hold ♠ -- ♥ AQT ♦ KJT63 ♣ JT952. The auction is P-P-1♠ to you. Double or 2N? Or something else? Would your answer change if partner were not a passed hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Double is clear IMO with 3 really good hearts and 5 so-so clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 2NT leaves you with no rebid after partner's 3m, but I would always double with opening values and 0355 (except something extreme lik xxx KQJxx KQJxx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 B/I question here: what is (1S)-2NT-p-3mp-3H? I've always thought this shows 0355 and a good hand. Of course I see how doubling for takeout suits this hand better than 2NT. But then I don't know what the above sequence shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it shows (I agree it should be 0355), it must be a much better hand than the one here. You are forcing to the 4-level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
