- Opponents remind you of your own failure to alert -- AI or UI?
- Let's suppose that a similar auction occurred: Namely: You are first to bid and it goes... 1S-(X)-2H... Out-of-turn, doubler now asks what 2H means... at which point you realized that this is a good raise to 2S. Doubler has asked about a bid out-of-turn... is this still ...

- @Kieran: How do you play 3C in these sequences?: (1D/M)-X-(P)-2C-(P) (2D/M)-3C
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: QT82 KJ5 T5 AQT6
- Partnership agreement to preempt w/ 5-card major factors in. Pard did not preempt - so 5 spades a bit less likely. Not mentioned in OP... so I guess that this inference is correct. If the above is per OP's agreements... then it seems as if I'm more likely than ...

- Just so... yet some sort of expert treatment/analysis of doubles is sorely lacking. One may think that such-and-such is best following a double and subsequent competition... but agreements with partner are essential.

- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: 953 AT5 AQ7632 4
- All my points are outside of pard's suits... I have Aces though... but outside values sways me towards pass.
- Kevin Cline's bidding problem: KQJ742 AQ4 6 932
- 4H jams the auction - no clear continuation exists. I think we can make slam, and my guess is that it's in spades.
- Why are you playing bridge?

- David Hankins's bidding problem: T83 K AJ9 KJ9732
