JLOGIC Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 So they cannot hold Jx KQxx xx Axxxx? And lastly, if this is the best example of a takeout double, color me completely unconvinced. Just bidding 2S with this hand seems perfectly fine to me. I feel like most 2425 example hands that want to bid can bid 2S. With 5 hearts, you can just bid 2H. Maybe you gain slightly by being able to make a takeout double with a hand like this, but you are losing one of the best possible penalty Xs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
