aguahombre Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I would guess "double". don't you first have to know what 3c is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbrr Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I like low level doubles as pen only in GF auctions. This is t/o for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONEferBRID Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 no discussion;; 2nt=(3c)=x? What is x? What should x be? Systems ON over DBL and 3C interference ( where X! of 3C = Stayman). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 My normal agreement is that such doubles are penalties at the 2 level, takeout at the 3 level regardless of whether 1N or 2N was opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 if you assume 3c is some tricky non alert bid ... ok Then I'll make a tricky takeout double of 3♣. We have 4♣ available too, if we loathe partner passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Pass is not even suggestive of being forcing after a 3-level overcall of our 2NT. Opener will reopen only with very specific hands. Even if double for Stayman is more frequently useful than double for penalty, I will suffer that loss to send the message -- our opponents don't get risk-free bids.
