maggieb Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Although I think that your partner should appreciate the fact that you try not to double with a doubleton in the unbid major, I would double with this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi, I think 2C is ok. A third alternative is to bid 2NT. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 How about 3♠, stopper ask? B) Not quite the typical running long solid suit with some stuff outside, but its similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I double. Good things can happen and there are lots of hands that we can make game where partner is unable to cooperate over our 2♣ overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'll double, but it's not pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over partner's 2 spades it could get very difficult. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcw Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 DBL runs the risk that partner will insist on a♥ contract. 3♠ seems cleary wrong...just not enough tricks. So by defaut I choose 2♣ and hopefully will get a chance to show my ♦ next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 With RHO opening this hand is really likelly a partscore, 2♣ is a good one so try it. 3♠ might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 So many ways 2C could work. Maybe a raise passed back to that hand, and then a delay unusual 2NT. Maybe staying out of trouble. Maybe Partner can act with an advance or a responsive double. So many ways a double can gum things up. Sorry if pard was not amused, but apparently things worked out on the hand for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadie3 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 With 19 HCP I double then bid. I expect my pard to bid hearts and that is ok by me. I then have a choice of bidding spades (asking for a stopper for 3NT) or bid one of my majors. Either way, I am showing my pard that I have a huge hand and I do not want to run the risk of having 2C passed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO yes it is an X to be followed by probably a ♣bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I would bid 2C. I don't see a good follow-up bid after doubling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athene Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Even though 2♣ will often work out, the real cost comes in the future when you find partner stretching to respond to your 2♣ overcalls with not much, just in case you have a billion HCP, and you keep going down in things when it's your hand.
