straube Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Favorable vul, the auction proceeds P P 1C dbl P 1S 2C dbl all pass the doubling hand Ax AKJxx Axxx Ax the advancing hand xxxxx xxx xx Qxx. The doubling hand says he planned to bid 3H over a 2S advance but wonders if he should have rebid 2H. The advancing hand says that he cooperated once already and has defense against 2C. 2C is settable. The questions are...what does a second double promise for hcps/shape, did doubler have enough to double a second time or should he bid 2H? Is the second double still takeout and should advancer have bid something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 http://forums.bridgebase.com/index.php?showtopic=39185 Yep. As that link points out, the 2nd double should have a 3rd spade. this leaves 2H, rather than a second double. Too strong to overcall, no 3rd spade, 5-card suit.

MFA Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 X then 2♥ would be fine by your partner. It shows a very strong hand, since the modern style is to overcall 1♥ up to something like 17-18 hcp.In principle I like his bidding plan, but I think he should have a tad more for X+X+3♥ - say the ♦Q also.
