1-5-6-1 after 1s-dbl

[Stephen Tu]

A problem a teammate faced, there were some differences of opinion among the team so we solicit outside advice:

 

IMPS, all vul. You hold

x 98xxx QJT9xx x

 

1♠-(dbl)-?

 

1. So in your methods, you play transfers, so you have the option of bidding 2c (forcing 1R, in principle showing same min strength as people playing a NF constructive 2d call), or passing. First, bid or pass?

 

2. Say you decide to bid. Auction continues

1♠-(dbl)-2♣(1)-(p);

2♦(2)-(dbl)-p-(3♣)

dbl-(p)-?

(1) diamonds

(2) "I would have passed a NF 2d call".

 

Opener's dbl should show ? And what do you do?

[WesleyC]

I play this methods and I'm happy to be able to show the diamonds with 2C.

 

Its difficult to make a decision about what double means without more background information about your style.
