Doubling A Weak Two/Lebensohl Question


Recommended Posts

Opponent opens a weak 2.

 

When I make a take out double I do so without regard to my partner using Lebensohl right?

 

So, if I can make a positive bid I just bid it right?

 

For example, if I have a stopper and 18pts I would just bid 3N or a five card suit with 15pts+ then I would just bid that suit at the two level correct?

 

I only double when I am superstrong or have a normal flat takeout hand. Would you agree?

What you double on isn't affected by if you play lebensohl. It's only when responding to the double that lebensohl applies.

 

With an 18 count and a stop, I just overcall 2N. If you did decide to double, then you can bid 3N over a positive response. With the other hand you mention, just overcall at whatever level necessary.
