BunnyGo Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 What are the vulnerabilities? Both doubles seem a little tight to me, but neither strikes me as "out to lunch". I think South probably needs to get in the auction now to help partner bid something, so I don't mind the double even though it is a bit light on defensive values. The penalty double is (a bit) pushy at IMPs, but could easily pay off big on this auction. Change partners hand into the minor suit aces and out (same shape) and it goes club, club ruff, diamond, club ruff, king of diamonds, slow trump trick. +500. I like +500s. I'm assuming that the opponents made (or else you wouldn't be posting), but that's not necessarily a guarantee. Even with these two hands, they could easily be off a club, a club ruff, two spades, a natural trump trick, and a diamond. I give optimism the blame, with a little to the cards for not letting you set them. Do it again next time and have better luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Everything seems normal to me. The OBAR-ish dbl included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my style to double 1nt but it is legit and my pard does fairly often. Sometimes you just have to pay off. I would bid 3 spades with the North hand and my pard would always double with it. Luckily, I sit North in F2F. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooltuna Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I don't know who is who (I didn't bother to look) but South is out to lunch with his X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
