GIB east makes a 4 card overcall, then a balancing double of 1NT, which gets passed out. Not the greatest result there :)

I wonder what's preventing it from doubling directly over 1. It already passed so it has about as good a hand as could reasonably be expected.

I just had a laugh when I looked at what it led against 1NT doubled. It has J9 of spades and doesn't lead the suit in spite of partner's overcall.

Why do takeout? It's best suit is . Does this sort of takeout show clubs?
Either bid 2 or defend partner can't have much.
Sarcasm is a state of mind
