The type of game and the vulnerability would be useful. The two small hearts are a warning sign. This lack of aces (only one) is a second sign, especially since we would have to contract for a five level contract. I pass.... but who the opponents are, and the type scoring, and even the state of my game (am I behind, am I ahead) might affect my decision, but probably not here.

It's a friendly game played in main club. I forgot the vulnerability, probably white to red? In short, it's not about winning or losing, it's about right or wrong.

At this point I would be regretting not having bid 2D (or 2NT for the minors) the first round :) Then I would have an easy double showing my extras.

 

Having doubled the first round (a good bid as well, mind you), it's a bit of a guess, and the best action is perhaps pass, as Ben suggested.

Pass. X on the first round was not a good bid.

Pass. X on the first round was not a good bid.

I dont like dbl. NOW I have to pass. At least you should be happy that pd didnt bid 4S over 4H.:blink:

I think my first dbl is OK. But I made the bad choice to dbl again. pd (first time pd, and this was our first board) bid 4S with ♠Axxx,♥x,♦xxxxxx,♣xx (cold 5D). He was angry and left the table. The hand was skipped and I didn't get the chance to see if opps could make 4H or not.

 

I had four choices, 4NT, 5D, dbl and pass. The reason to dbl was that if my pd's hand is flat and have some defensive tricks, he could pass. The worst scenario is he bid 4S with 4-card only (as it actually happened) and opps refused to dbl (else I had second chance to bid 4NT or 5D). One good outcome was that my pd left, and I am happy to not play with him again.

"I think my first dbl is OK"

 

I guess that means you would be happy to play 4S if partner bid that over 4H on:

 

Jxxxx

void

xxx

Axxxx

 

 

"I had four choices, 4NT, 5D, dbl and pass."

 

You had 1 decision only - Pass!

You partner's 4S bid after your second double was perfectly correct.

If you double the second time and partner bids 4♠, you have no choice but to bid 5♣ - or 4NT trying to find a minor fit. There is no way 4♠ will be playable after you hold a gun to his hand an make him bid it. I would bid 5♣ and with the hand your partner had, correct to 5♦. ... but of course, you should pass with your hand.

 

BTW, any playerr leaving the table as declarer is wrong... no matter how unhappy he was with your bidding (he could leave of course at the end of the hand). Let's all remember this the next time OUR partner sticks us in a silly contract.
