Jlall Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I would consider this an automatic double at this vulnerability. Partner showed GF values with long clubs, and we have extra values, prime cards, and short clubs, and we are white vs red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I double here also and note Justin's reasoning and that you may often get a ♣ ruff with that 8. If you don't double, what do you bid? 3NT will take some real luck as the stopper is gone on the 2nd round. 3NT -2 will look silly compared to 3♠x -2 or 3 vulnerable. ... neilkaz ...

andy_h Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Short clubs is a dangerous sign. Take your money because it'll be worth it. Double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 no answer, but questions from me:- Is pass forcing here? (Partner's 3♣ was GF, so we will not pass out 3♠)?- Is DBL penalty or showing values? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
