goffster Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 http://tinyurl.com/kkpy983 When gib's partner promises 14 or fewer hcp, then what businessdoes it have making a penalty double of 3C ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I don't particularly like the double of 2♥ either. Just defend undoubled, if partner is strong enough he can double in balancing seat and you can sit. Not a big fan of the 2♥ call itself, also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 When gib's partner promises 14 or fewer hcp...East also showed 16+ total points, which is hard to reconcile with the 1NT rebid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I can imagine the simulations suggests that defending 3♣ doubled is a long term winner. But it is hard to know which East hands come up in the sims. As Bradley says, 12-14 balanced with 16+ TP.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 In v34 both things should be improved. 1) The sudden disappearance of 2-3 cards from 1NT , showing 1 spade.2) Double will be avoided with lack of 3TP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
