hijack: I'm wondering, would the doublers still double if we were playing specific two-suiters? I'm just asking because I have just started playing them and I don't know yet how to.

 

I know it's a good idea to double if you have 0355 and they opened 1S but that's a little different since it's an unbid major that we're implying by the double.

Playing specific two-suiters, I would be much more likely to make my two-suited bid - firstly (and obviously) because partner is better placed knowing both of my suits, and secondly because I can sometimes bid my three-card fragment on the next round. Whether the second point is relevant depends on the strength of the hand and the order of the suits.

Bonus question for those who chose 4NT on the second round: what do you plan to do if partner bids 5♦?

Do you really expect a 5-7 distribution? Opposite a 5-6 I'd rather play in the 5-4♥ fit than the 6-3 ♣ fit...

I would bid 2♠ then double to show a good michaels.

 

Dbl + dbl is ok as well. Obscures the distribution a bit, but scores if pard has some diamonds.

When a bid promises a 5-card minor, a 6-card minor is considered extra length.
