mike777 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I will try x. Not stated but I will assume we play Walsh which means pard will not have a 4 card major unless gf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short Diamonds, some tricks, and not defined as "takeout" for us. Close second choice pass if feeling wimpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_prah Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I would pass. I would never consider double at IMPs. At matchpoints, double has more merit, but if partner does not have the ♦A, our defensive prospects will be drastically reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 If double is takeout you have to pass. If double is not for takeout, then I have zero experience playing that way but probably would still pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Not sure why x should be takeout if pard has denied a 4card major in walshstyle but it makes alot of sense if not walsh. I would think if we are that strong to make a takeout bid we could just bid our diamonds or clubs again assuming pard is not going to have a major here.

Finch Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I also pass. If double is penalties (which it would not be for most people) that is more tempting than a take-out double, but it's very much a gamble and I would tend to pass instead.

jillybean Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 If you double, partner bids 4♦ and RHO bids 4♠ PS we are W vs. R MP Correction! IMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Anything but pass is from another planet, I will pass the reopening double if that's what the real problem is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
