PhantomSac Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Am I the only one who thinks double is penalty? Is this one of those spots that's different in MP vs imps? I can definitely see myself doubling for penalty frequently at MP but admit I cannot see myself doing so very often at imps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSac Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Also, Philking if you were playing with me and we had no discussion would you just take 4C as a game try in diamonds all day over 3S? I think I would spring that one on you if I had the right hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that in all my partnerships, were I to double, my next decision would be which card to lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 There is a big chance that partner has 2+ spades so I am not that worried about missunderstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 There is a big chance that partner has 2+ spades so I am not that worried about missunderstanding. This way we get the worst of both worlds - when partner has ♠xx, he pulls and we go minus against nothing, and when he is short, he leaves it in and we concede 3♠x. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
