Funny thing. Playing in a BBO ACBL IMP pair game the other night, I held Axxxx -- xx QT9xxx. After passing in first seat at all vul, the bidding proceeded (2) - P - (4) back to me. I trotted out 4. It went (P) - P - (5). My partner, holding

found a double for 1400.

I won't trouble you by reproducing the EW hands, as it would make you sick.

Had I not bid 4, I would not be 100% comfortable with sitting for my partner's eventual double of 4. And perhaps he would pass out 4 out of fear of a pull to 5.

So, what is the moral of this story?


I dont understand why you wouldnt be comfortable sitting the double. Partner made a penalty double and I have an Ace when I could have nothing - will expect 500 at minimum
