Was interested to see the answers and yes I know this hand is better than many Axx Axx Axx xxxx hands. This was the top of the list of these I felt. The story?……. well it all turned out well despite the fact I got stick from my team captain/mates/most of the room for not opening….. I passed p-p-1S-X-XX-2C-P-P-X-PPP for +1100 they say you cant argue with success but bridge players are a breed of their own.

sorry for the delay in replying to the dicsussion 1S was in fact a run from the 1Hx pass and met with four card support. Pass was the bid chosen at the table and it did not play well in 5-1 fit with a 6-1 break. 2H was making by EW I believe.

Double was the bid at the table….. East plays a lot of rubber bridge and I imaging north has as well and was expecting East to pass….. It continued here…..

Ok so the real point of this question is that East asked a question of the 1C bid as it was not a “standard” method, then passed and passed on the second occasion in tempo….how may would bid 2S now?

What are peoples opinions of double in this seat and what do you think double should show?
Paddy Murphy
Sorry if it wasn't very challenging but it was bid 10/16 times when played and only made three times in a reasonable standard field.

this was close as I thought it might be
the player who held this hand did double and partner passed it out
with

T765
AK32

North/south held

2SX was a make 5D was as well
2H was somewhat outside of agreements even for this vulnerability
Yuan and others comments on 3H are quite valid I think
