Jinksy Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 With you in 4th, the auction goes 1H 2H 4H P / P 4S. I'm keeping this deliberately vague, because I'm looking for a general answer not dependent on vul (or your own hand). Just broadly, what sort of hand do you expect from P? Does it depend on your agreed range for Michaels? (If so, ours is very wide-ranging, obv with an eye on the vul/ODR on weaker hands) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 A hand that was prepared to force to game but doesn't want to defend. Double shows more high cards/defence (and is safer if 2H specified the minor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I would expect a mid-range or better 6-5, i.e. AQJxxx x KJxxx x. With a strong 55 hand: dbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yes, should always be at least 6 spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatrix45 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 It shows a two suited hand willing to play for 10 tricks in spades opposite nothing - and not enough defense to beat 4♥ if partner has 109xx in hearts and one other high card.
