johnu Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I see many people who think double is penalty, but I though it was standard that double shows clubs, not diamonds, and a stronger hand. Partner will rarely pass the double RHO has already overcalled 2♣. Why would you want to show clubs? With some cards and 4+ spades, you may have made a negative double after 2♣, so you usually don't want to suggest playing in spades. If you had heart support, you probably would have supported hearts. I would expect partner to pass the double almost all the time except with a very distributional hand not suited for defending.

Fluffy Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 What I mean is that double would be more a hand like: ♠Kxx♥xx♦KJx♣AJ9xx Obviously double suggest playing here, but it is not an impossition. And maybe we have too many diamonds to expect partner to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
