:rolleyes: You asked for a reply, so....................
My partners don't usually open clubs when they hold diamonds, so it looks to me like they have escaped successfully, and I now have no good bid. All normal bids are misleading (major suits are weak and no diamond stop). I would rather risk the slight (well, I do have TWO aces) overbid of 3♦. At least we will end up in the right strain.

To me, this auction is not an analogy to the negative double. I invited partner to take a bite out of 2♦, and she did not do so. Hence, I can't double except for penalties, lest our "system" make it nearly always impossible to penalize the opponents.

Hello everyone

I like the double from either side as takeout method. You tend to get a penalty 'if' either partner holds their suit. You also do not defend with 2-2 or 2-3 fits.

This method also often gets you to decent suit contracts. A 4-3 fit often plays very well with 3 card support and taking ruffs in the short trump hand.

Against weaker pairs, the takeout double style sometimes scares them into running from a good contract into a bad contract or they 'push' themselves into a higher level. You might not have beaten a two level contract and they push themselves into a three level contract that you can beat.

Regards,
Robert
