mohitz Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 1♠ - (2♥) - p - (2NT)p - (3♣) - X Obviously, responder has hearts. But what about clubs? Is this takeout-ish or penalty-ish? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanp Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yes penalty. Opener won't pull so you'd better have some clubs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 penalty but not a trump stack, so that partner is not barred from bidding. However, it would be a very odd hand on which he pulled, because he already rates to be short in hearts, so would need to have very long spades (at least 7) or surprisingly long diamonds to even think about pulling. I wouldn't need more than 3 clubs to make this double...and I'm probably leading one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
