iandayre Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 It would have showed the same as the description of the delayed double. Clearly, if the descriptions were accurate, the balancing double must show less. When I say "accurate" I mean conforming with sound bridge logic, not how GIB interprets the call.

The exact meanings of double over 1♠ are " Two suit takeout -- 4+♣,4+♦,5-♥,5-♠,12+ total points ". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pass followed by double shows a BETTER hand according to the description. What nonsense. And yet my long-time contention that the descriptions are essentially broken and need to be completely revamped doesn't get much support.

1eyedjack Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Oh it gets support - just not amongst the influential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
