dwar0123 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 [hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1hp1s2d3hp4hd]133|100[/hv]Is the double in this auction a lightner double? Contract is cold without a spade lead and dead with one but it all hinges on the interpretation of the double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Without a Dbl, partner will lead your bid suit. DBL says: "Don't lead my suit".... and from the bidding, the logical one to lead is ♠. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 two4bridge describes what he believes the double means. Good job. Lightner Doubles are another "name game" peeve. Theodore invented the double strictly for use vs. slam contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 All of the above and more common today that the double says, whatever your natural lead was before the double, look at your hand and find something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flametree Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Is there no chance doubler simply believes he/she will take 4H light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
