Against Robson/Forrester you have to decide what to do now, basically double or 3♥ (Showing heart stopper).

3H. This is a dangerous place to x since if diamonds are 54 since we don't have a quick heart entry to play a 2nd trump.

I assume the first x is more cards, and not necessarily penalty seeking.

3 ♦ isn't exactly showing much. Red vs. white I think you've got keep on track to find your game if it's there.

So I'm bidding 3 ♥ to show my stopper and let partner make the next move.

I rank
  • Double = Competitive. If RHO is 2-1 in the red suits, 3♦ may not play well. If partner has more than 10 cards in the black suits, I hope he'll find a bid.
  • 3♥ = Stop. I have a singleton in partner's suit and 8 cards in RHO's suits. LHO and partner share 16-19 black cards. We might make a spade contract but bad breaks could hamper us.

in normal circumstances, no. i've no idea how many diamonds they have.

but they're quite sporting, so i'd smack it on the assumption that if they're close to making 3, they'd be in 5.

I think double is auto, but I play it as values oriented rather than penalties.
