awm Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Pass-Pass-5♦-Pass-Pass-X How would you interpret this double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think it's some sort of 'I can't believe they preempted at the 5-level and you are fourth in hand and didn't do anything' double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 void in diamonds is typical, takeout but partner will still pass very often at such a high level so you have good defense. Stiff D is possible with KTxx ATxx x KTxx or whatever, but Kxxx Qxxxx --- Axxxx type would be typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zheddh Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Secondary question is "Is it a good idea to double on such hands?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I would think it is takeout and partner can expect a singleton or void in diamonds. However, partner probably leaves it in more often than bids if he has values and a few diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 but Kxxx Qxxxx --- Axxxx type would be typical. I have really never seen this in your posts before. You submit a 14carder? I guess you meant Kxxxx,Qxxxx,-Axxxx :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yahooya Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think it's some sort of 'I can't believe they preempted at the 5-level and you are fourth in hand and didn't do anything' double. I doubt if the third could bid 5♦ directly after 2 Pass, The fourth couldn't do anthing?? just Double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
