Cascade Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Do you have any agreement or is there any standard for a double of an artificial bid on the second occasion that you could have doubled in a particular auction.

Jlall Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Usually you were scared they could make if you doubled the first one. Doubling twice does not exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Usually you were scared they could make if you doubled the first one. Doubling twice does not exist. Sure it does. If you play that 4♣ asks YOU for Aces, DEPO applies. So, X = no Aces (or two), second double = no Kings (or two). I always play that in midnight KO's.
