E confession:

Don't double for a speculative down 1 at IMPS. The odds are not in your favor and you're tossing points.

IMO
  • At green, even opposite a passed hand double, this is worth 4 over 3.
  • Unless opponents make the occasional doubled contract, you're not doubling enough.
  • Your double was unlucky. Your honours lay well for declarer and AKQ were worth only one trick.
