paulsim Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi all 1Y (1Z) 1NT (X) Do you think there is standard meaning for the double? A. Competitive double with support for the unbid suits B. Penalty Ty very much. Modified.Sorry. Mixed english and french. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Assuming ST stands for suit Transfer: X is T/O for the unbid suits. But since they used Transfer, the X showes also some cards in the ST suit, so X is alsosome Kind of penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardVector Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 This should be penalty and should include a high honor in partner's suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I think it's much better for it to show 5-5 in the unbids than be for penalty. Especially opposite players like me who like to overcall pretty light at the 1 level; opps will have half the deck min if they didn't psyche. You'll have an opportunity to double for penalty approximately never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 For me it should show the two unbid suits. Exactly how depends on Y and Z, zone and opening style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maartenxq Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 This would be pure penalty, cannot wait to see all modern explanations but I prefer to be old fashioned. Maarten Baltussen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
