Not the greatest result there :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbartley Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I wonder what's preventing it from doubling directly over 1♦. It already passed so it has about as good a hand as could reasonably be expected. I just had a laugh when I looked at what it led against 1NT doubled. It has J9 of spades and doesn't lead the suit in spite of partner's overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Why do takeout? It's best suit is♣ . Does this sort of takeout show clubs?Either bid 2♣ or defend partner can't have much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
