I hope this post is going to be edited so that the questions (assuming that there are any questions) make sense.

[gwnn]

The questions are a little cryptic but I think I have the hang of it:

 

a) you have

 

xx AJ9x AKT9x xx

x AJ9x AKT9x xxx

xxx AJ9x AKT9x x

 

b) You have the ace of clubs.

c) You have the hand given there.

 

a1, a2 double

a3 2♦

 

b1, b3 2♦

b2 double

 

c) pass. hate it.

c2, c3: double

With opening hand strength and 3 card support for the non ♠ suits I make a TOX otherwise I overcall 2♦

Overcall 2♦:

 

a1) ♦AKT9x ♥AJ9x ♠xx ♣xx;

a3) ♦AKT9x ♥AJ9x ♠xxx ♣x

b1) ♦KQJxx ♥JTxx ♣Ax ♠xx

Double (and pass 2♣):

 

a2) ♦AKT9x ♥AJ9x ♠x ♣xxx

b2) ♦KQJxx ♥JTxx ♣Axx ♠x

c3) ♦KTxxx ♥KQJx ♠A ♣JTx

 

Pass (maybe compete later):

Could someone, please, delete this topic?

Of the ones with a stiff club, 2♦ on the first two and pass on the last one.

 

Double on all the others. No ELC so may need to apologise if partner chooses clubs.

The hands with a singleton spade are all obvious takeout doubles.

 

The 2452 shapes are all takeout doubles if playing ELC, but not otherwise. Not playing ELC, xx AJ9x AKT9x xx is a 2♦ overcall; the other two are passes for me, but xx JTxx KQJxx Ax is an overcall for some people at some vulnerabilities.

 

With 3451 I wouldn't double. Again I'd overcall with xxx AJ9x AKT9x x but not the other two. xxx JTxx KQJxx A is worse than the same values in a 2452, but I expect that some would still overcall.
