Free Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 A hand I held yesterday, I was just wondering what people prefer: Dbl or 1♥? (edit: RHO opened 1♦ showing 4+♦)[hv=pc=n&n=sak65hak532djcj84]133|100[/hv] What if your Majors are reversed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Are we to assume that RHO opened 1♦? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raff90 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Double.After 1♦ - 1♥ - 3♦ you wont find your spade fit ever again.And my coach always said: If you have both majors then show both. And if its reversed i tend to bid 1♠ cause you have much better rebid options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't need to know how the bidding have gone, I will bid my suit regardless at the 1 level, at the 3 level I would double my singleton. At the 2 level I would with 5-4 but not with 5-3 majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagitt Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 To me It does depend on the agreement with yr partner. I use double after an opening bid to show 12hcp+ # of cards of the opponents suit. So if 1♦ is the opening bid and if I have 3 cards ♦ I shld have 12+3=15hcp in order to be able to double. I use it with my regular partner. Or if you agree with your p that an overcall is 8-17 hcp that will be an overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
