This hand occurred while I kibitzed a yellow's (South) table

Scoring: IMP

---

On that table it was 3♦xE-6
E S W N
1♥ P P X
2♦ 2♠ X XX
3♦ P P X
P P P

Lead ♠J

Describe how your bidding system would handle this (as any of the 2 sides) plz...

I'd imagine that other tables could get to the three level doubled on the EW cards.

West should not have doubled 2♠.

East should pull to 3♥x

[inquiry]

West should pass 2♠ instead of double. EW might well be out of the auction after that.

Agree that W should pass, but E would still bid.

By the way, the usual order is E, S, W and N.

After South's Free bid of 2♠ (and a pass instead of dbl by west), the bidding will be too high by the time it gets back to EAST to take a third bid on 10 working hcp opposite a partner who could not keep the bidding open at the one level.

I don't think it has much to do with bidding system. As East I would open 4♥, which North will double and South will convert.

I don't like East's diamonds bids. He doesn't want a diamond lead.
