masse24 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 1♥ - (X) - 3♠ Splinter?WJS?Other? I see no strong reason to prefer one over the other. If you do, can you please explain why? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 If it would be a splinter without the double, as it should be, I can't see any strong reason to change its meaning to something else after a double, which took away no bidding room and reduced the likelihood that we were dealt a really long spade suit.

sasioc Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 My usual rule with my p is "if they double and you don't know what things mean, assume they are the same as they'd be without the double". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 If you are playing splinters than it definitely should be a splinter. If you aren't playing splinters, then it should be a preempt showing 7 or 8 ♠s. The weak jump shift bid would be 2 ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
