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.

 

I thought about this during a Gerber Auction during the weekend but it could apply to other artificial bids.

What is the difference between doubling 5 without doubling 4 and vice verca and doubling both?

A reasonable agreement:
  • _X then _P suggests both a lead and a sacrifice.
  • _P then _X suggests only a lead.
  • _X then _X indicates a sacrifice but suggests a different lead.

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.
