My judgement when it comes to making doubles is terrible. I thought about it on this hand but decided against because of the points distribution. I didn't bid on because it was GIB and partner would have expected a lot more and, as others found out, you end up way too high.

Results suggest it was a doubling hand but opinion was split amongst those who didn't bid on.

75% wasn't a bad result, just wondering if I missed an obvious double.

As always, thanks in advance,

Simon

Nothing wrong with passing that, I think. You're min, and pard passed a very shape-descriptive opening, so odds your side has nothing.

Sure, dbl can be right, but it can also lead to a heck of a lot of trouble if pard pulls to 3.

All the other stuff you say seems about right. But I don't understand, "You're min, and pard passed a very shape-descriptive opening". In what way have I described 5-1-2-5?

What I mean is that 1 is considerably more descriptive in what concerns shape than e.g. 1m.
