Jlall Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Redouble does have one risk, though: partner might think it shows rather more in clubs than what we have. I wouldn't want him to play me for ♣AQ109x. Yes, I agree with this and that is why I was tentative about redoubling when I saw this hand being posted. When I try to think about it logically though, the "non lead directing double" which presumably could be made on 3 small is so utterly retarded because it's telling us that clubs probably break and also telling us that the opening bidder has few values in clubs. Where do the values rate to be if not with the opening bidder, obv with us right? So it just seems like we should be exploiting this retarded bid by redoubling with 4 reasonable clubs since partner is such a strong favorite to have pretty strong clubs as well. Of course if it was a normal lead directing X I would want partner to play us for AQT9x or whatever. But it just seems like logically their double is so dumb, and logically for us to have the same requirements to redouble it is also really dumb. On top of that, it also seems given the retarded nature of their double it is a gigantic mistake to not play a penalty redouble of it. They're almost literally asking for it lol. But I like to redouble lead directing bids in general, so I'm sure you can imagine how I feel about doubling lead inhibiting doubles...

cherdanno Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Doubles of bad bids are penalty. So redoubles of bad doubles are business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
