MrAce Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 He does not have a max, or he would have redoubled previous round. If he had a penalty double for clubs and holding 3-4 spades, he could have redoubled.(but I am not quite sure about that)He has at least 3 spades or they would have bid it already.He could have bid 2♦ if he wanted a choice between red suits.We should not be seeking game after we already passed 1♥ and lack of redouble previous round. I have no idea what all of this sums up to. I think this is one of those DSIP doubles. So I will bid 2♦ for the insurance. He heard my pass over 1♥ he can always correct it. Our spade fit can not be any better than heart fit. And if he really meant penalty, I will say that I am sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 How many diamonds did you promise? I think that partner wants to compete further, but doesn't know the best strain, with eg 5♥ and 3♦. So takeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I would not be at all surprised to find p with 4 clubs andsome good spots and that they were trying for a penalty. Ourhand is not only minimum but sub minimal when it comes todefense though I really like the club Q in this auction itdoes not make up for my lack of tricks elsewhere. P hand might look like Kxx xxxx Qx KT9x. 2d mainly because I wish to give p another spot to play and warn them about the lack of defense on my part. With 4 hearts I would simplybid 2h. The only other interpretation of x would be if responder was something like 4441 and wanted to bring a 44 spade fit into thepicture if competing further. This interpretation makes littlesense since its perfection depends on the opps making a balancingx and that in and of itself is such a small target as to make itnot worthwhile especially since we would lose the penalty applicationof x. The delayed x helps opener make better decisions since responderdid not xx to show a hand near max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 looks like one of those "do something clever" dbls certainly not penalty.. pard can hardly have one when he's passed and you're weakish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMoe Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 4=4=3=2Ought not be DISP/Cooperative as partner is a passed hand and you opened in third seat. Bid 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
