vodkagirl Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 The other day I had a hand where RHO opened 1♣ I overcalled 1♥ and passed LHO doubled and passed Partner redoubled! General question: what does the redouble of a negative double mean? There is very little about this online and I have never come across this bidding sequence before so I am very much interested in your replies. Many thanks as always.

SteveMoe Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I am aware of three uses for this redouble:1) Some 10+ hand implying no fit for partner's (intervenor's) suit - this is like the redouble after 1Z-X-XX...2) Rosencranz - shows Hxx or better in partner's suit - a good raise. This allows 2♥ here to be bid on lesser support (xxx(x))...You can also reverse this - that is, have the redouble show xxx and the raise show Hxx...3) Munson - showing either ♥Ax or ♥Kx - the idea here to allow patrner to underlead a top honor against their contract sn help our side score a ruff when it's available.Redouble as a weak rescue (runout) is something I haven't seen in this position. While you could do this, I can't see why you would - the other ideas are more important to competitive bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
