1D-(4S)-X

[goffster]

When GIB doubles here (which it says shows 11+) points

opener has 0% idea what the right action is.

 

Leave it in ?

Bid a new suit ?

Rebid own suit ?

 

Today GIB doubled with:

 

-

876543

AJ98732

-

 

 

Double is truly inane. 5D is right. Even 6D would be a better bid.

 

The double should be defined as cooperative, penalty, or takeout,

none of this "guess the number I am thinking of".

That's hysterical!

Reminds me of a time in a schools competition where partner decided to make a penalty double of 4S with KQJ-9th of clubs and out opposite a silent partner.

Thanks for reporting.

 

Will be addressed about what North's behavior should be over such high jumps as overcall.
