manudude03 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Double usually shows 4 hearts, but it may also be done on hands where he has values and there is just no good bid (eg. Ax xxx KQxxx xxx). Having said that, I'm just bidding 4H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 [hv=pc=n&s=sakqj3hkqt6djcq42&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=p1s3c(Weak)dp]133|200| I've searched BBO but there doesn't seem to be much info about this situation.Does X show 4 hearts. What about higher intervention, presumably that requirement diminishes the higher you get ?4c Major setting - is it any different under 5cM.[/hv] IMO 4♥ = 10, 4♣ = 8, 3N = 7, 3♥ = 6, Pass = 5. System cards often have a box headed "Negative doubles to". Partnerships opt for any level from 2♠ to 7♥. Partnerships also seem to have different agreements as to whether a negative double promises 4+ ♥s and to what level. As Wanoff implies many partnerships have no firm agreements and, for them, this should be an important discussion topic. FWIW, IMO, a negative double shouldn't promise 4♥s, even at a low level. The message is that your hand is unsuitable for a game-force or a pass but you have no sensible bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovera Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 We must show our hand that in spade has 4 honors for a suit as of 6 cards, in heart a just and also strong support for probable partner suit(=trump), in diamond values(=control) than excuding NT(=no stopper in club) and bidding at level with a light forceness 4 ♣(=points in three suits) should show this nice hand.

monikrazy Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 X will normally show 4+ hearts. I think 4♣, showing a strong hand with heart support is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
