mtvesuvius Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=sa73ht5dq7ckt9632&d=e&v=b&b=10&a=pp1hp1s2c2sdp]133|200[/hv]IMPs -- Bracket 1 opponents. You're playing a Strong Club so your pass is a little less heavy than most. A few questions here, some easier than others... 1) How do you play this double?2) Does the double say anything about partner's spade holding? If so, what?3) What is your call here?

andy_h Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Takeout ala snapdragon (I love that name) so I expect partner to have diamonds and club tolerance saying nothing about the spade holding, I bid 3C. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWO4BRIDGE Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Is this really a Snap Dragon DBL situation ? [ Edit: I thought it shows 4th-suit only in 4th-seat ] . Edited June 23, 2011 by TWO4BRIDGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcrosa Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 1) and 2) I expect partner to have: at least 9 red cards (likely 5 diamonds - no 2♦ overcall - and 4+ hearts); 2 clubs; and at least 10 HCP. The double per se doesn't say anything about the number of spades, but looking at my hand and the bidding I expect him to have 2 (90% of the time) or 1 (the remaining 10%). I expect exactly 2 clubs, since: with less, he's unlikely to have a hand good enough to force the bidding to the 3rd level with no known fit; and with more, he would be leaving me badly placed to evaluate the possibility of passing the double. (The inference about heart length comes more from the opponents bidding than from the double in itself, I admit, so in essence this is pretty much like a Snapdragon double).3) I bid 3♣. I have a minimum, clubs are not running and my (likely) only entry will soon be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 echo the above: dbl=♦+♣ and I bid 3♣ now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
