Nigel, this is a defensive bidding problem so it doesn't matter if we play Acol or some other system.

Anyway, double is obvious.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

Maybe this will be the second unanimous poll that BBF has ever had!

You might consider 4NT.
It has risk as you say, but at this vul 500 or 800 may not compensate. Would convert 5m to 6.

Close :) Partner held
Q x x x x Q J x x x x Q x and we can make a vulnerable grand in or Notrumps.

I doubled, on my 25-count, and partner took the unfortunate view to pass for +800. Team-mates suggested that I should have considered 4N, 5 or 6, instead of double. I scorn such suggestions, which is why I post the hand as a bidding problem.

There is every reason to suspect game, 2 is weak (majors) and 4 could be just as weak
But double still best bidding anything else is too committal.

Can we say results merchants?

I agree with your P's pass fwiw. Maybe I should consider taking up these 'preempts' you speak of.

"when pd makes a t-o x, i bid" edgar kaplan. i don't see how 5d can be bad, and this time it should get to 6d unless you've got a follow-up gadget, when 7.
