smerriman Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 .. are you saying North should pass out 3♠ with an 11 count opposite an opening hand? Don't forget there was no initial double of 2♦.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget there was no initial double of 2♦.. Nope, but Double is not the right bid. Either you can double the first time - GIB define that as penalty (10+ hcp), or you can bid 3N with a ♠-stopper. You could also define double here as T/O In real bridge it is also possible to bid 2♠ at the first round showing limit+ with ♦-support.

thepossum Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yes GiB has penalties, usually passing takeouts of 2 or 3 of a majorTo be fair there occasionally is a successful defence if you can find itI have become so traumatised that I hardly ever risk such a double Let me check GiB's card on doubles below game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
