Great hand for a power double (sorry - shameless plug ;))

Playing standard methods, i suppose I'd overcall 1N but I don't like it one little bit. The slow diamond suit means we'll need 2nd spade stop to make 3N, and 1N is so wrong positionally.

2D may or may not get us to 3N from pard's side, and I would be very understanding if my pard made this well thought out call :P

A takeout double accomplishes nothing.

Good post, but wrong thread I suppose...

Obvious double to me, emphesis is on majors. If 1♦ buys the contract and least I have some extras.

X

I can understand 1NT, but X it is,
but pass is an option I may choose
at the table.

Too bad Phil, that would have been the best post in the other thread, now it is lost forever :D
