vincit Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 [hv=d=e&v=n&s=skxxhakjxdq10xcj9x]133|100|[/hv] What is your bid after RHO opens 1♣? Would you double with any 4333 14HCP and 4 hearts if RHO opens 1♠? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I double. 1♥ is a close second. I would double with most 3=4=3=3 14s over 1♠. The hands that I wouldn't double would have minor honours in spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 1H for me, though I know some like to double on this shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 This one is pretty close to anything is not that unreasonable. My style ranks them as follows: P = 101♥ = 9X = 81NT = 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Easiest double in the world. I'd double even with Kxx AKJx Jxx xxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I double. Make it Kx AKJx QTxx J9x and I overcall 1♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 1♥, but pass is a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Double for sure. I'm not even considering 1♥, when I have adequate length in all three suits. My lower limit with this shape is about 12 hcp here - I'd double some 12's and pass some 12's.Had the opening been 1♠ I would generally need 13 hcp to double with 3433.

Fluffy Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I double as well, with something like ♣KQx I might think about 1 heart or pass if a bit weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I Dbl.4333 shape is awful so I wouldn't Dbl except with 14+ when the hand is not suitable for a NT overcall either by range, by no stoppers, by concentration of values in two suits, or some such combination. Some suitable 13HCP hands are included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 x. Remove the Q♦ and its pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Slightly prefer 1♥ to double. Would not pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you double with any 4333 14HCP and 4 hearts if RHO opens 1♠? prefer x, I try to use 4 card overcalls as last resort, not first.

ArtK78 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Double. 1♥ is not terrible on such a good suit, but I do have support for both spades and diamonds (and clubs!) and a good hand, so I double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Meh. Call me old-fashioned but I prefer more shape-specific takeout doubles. 1♥ for me with this decent suit. 2nd choice pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
