To DBL or not to DBL

at MP (where its only 1 board) I have no trouble with x.

 

at IMPS opposite a passed partner the risk vs reward ratio seems to tilt

in favor of pass. We need p to be close to max for a passed hand to make

game and looming to our left is a still unlimited opponent who may just

be waiting to use the biggest hammer ever invented to x whatever we do.

 

I do not see the benefit of x here at IMPS distribution is too boring.

I'm a strong overcaller of preempts (I like partner bidding game with the appropriate hand and having play), and I'm doubling. If partner bids 4, we'll have play.

 

Sure, we can still be 800 into nothing, but what are preempts for?

 

Oddly enough, if I was going to lose a jack, I'd rather lose the club J than the diamond. Am I wrong here?

Yes, tell them Wangzhi !

 

These guys have no clue that DBL of 3 is a transfer to 3 with no where else to play, and pass over 3 shows 13 hcp with this shape in the hands of a wimp :D
