3 sequences after DBL

[kgr]

(1D)-DBL-(P)-1S

(2D)-2NT

 

(1D)-DBL-(P)-1S

(2D)-DBL-(P)-2S

(P)-2NT

 

(1D)-DBL-(P)-1S

(2D)-DBL-(P)-2S

(P)-3S

 

What hands are shown by DBLer in the above 3 sequences?

Should the 2nd have ♠-support?

[helene_t]

1) appr 20-21 points, diamond stop, probably only two spades and three hearts

 

2) appr 22-23 points, diamond stop, probably four hearts and two spades

 

3) appr 20-21 points, three spades, at most one diamond stop

How do you bid this after:

(1D)-DBL-(P)-1S

(2D)-??

edit: partner bid 1S, not opp

[nige1]

1. (1D)-DBL-(P)-1S; (2D)-2NT
2. (1D)-DBL-(P)-1S; (2D)-DBL-(P)-2S; (P)-2NT
3. (1D)-DBL-(P)-1S; (2D)-DBL-(P)-2S; (P)-3S

IMO

1. Natural, 18+ HCP, flat, ♦ stop, unlikely to hold 4♥.
2. Natural, 18+ HCP, flat, ♦ stop, may have 4♥
3. Natural, 18+ HCP, 3 ♠.

(1D)-DBL-(1S)-P

I would pass.

 

I think a second double starts at about a 3424 good 18. Although we have 19, this hand is junky. If partner can't bid again, that's fine. The real problem is that when we double and partner bids 2♠, he might still only have four of them, but have nothing else to bid, and he has to make a stronger move with a decent five count or so. One could play 2♥ as a double negative with 4-3 in the majors, but it is a dodgy area.

 

If we double again and partner bids 2♠, any further move shows a rock-crusher. 3♠ for me just about does not exist, since partner has not promised five and we never have four.

 

Edit: slightly confused by the change of 1♠ bidders, but I feel little love for this hand either way.

Who bid 1S? opponent?

[lowerline]

1. balanced 20-22hcp without 4crd spades
2. balanced 18-20hcp with only 2 spades
3. 3crd spade support, 17-19 (with 20+ you should bid 3D)

Your hand fits your 3rd sequence.

But now you give another sequence in which I double again with this hand.

If you keep everything the same as when Opener has not rebid 2♦, except that 2NT (instead of 1NT) shows 19-21; 3♣ (instead of 2♣) is the GOSH with clubs; and X replaces the cue bid then you will not go too far wrong.

[JLOGIC]

X then 2N just shows a more flexible hand). They don't show different strengths. For instance, with Ax KQxx Ax AKJxx I would double again before bidding 2N. With xx Kxx AQT AKQJx I would just bid 2N.

I would pass.

IMO Xing again with only a good 18+ is too sound. I would double again with like 16.

 

Still, after doubling again obviously pass with 18 and KJ doubleton of diamonds.

N, W and E are GIB.

NS reached a good contract. Bad bidding and Lucky or Good bidding?

Hand given by a team mate.

I thought that DBL..DBL..2NT would have been better then DBL..DBL..3S; maybe showing some S-support and a single stop in D. Or would that show a much better hand?

[kgr]

X then 2N just shows a more flexible hand). They don't show different strengths. For instance, with Ax KQxx Ax AKJxx I would double again before bidding 2N. With xx Kxx AQT AKQJx I would just bid 2N.

Is Ax=KQxx=Ax=AKJxx the minimum for DBL..DBL..2NT?

Or would Kx=KJxx=Axx=AQJx also be sufficient?

I can picture getting to 5C after that second double, and probably wouldn't get the 2S rebid by partner with a full six-count and only 4 spades.

 

But, the answer is "lucky"...lucky we didn't get blown out of the water right away by a 1NT opening from East.
