Scoring: IMP


1♠-p-1NT(forcing)-2♦
2♠-p-p-X
XX-3♣-X-3♦
all pass

-150 got fewer imps than -500 would have.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Think South should dbl. He can hardly pass, so dbl seems obvious with the spade misfit, max hand and good controls.

This dbl doesn't mean you have KQJT though. Just a couple extras, defensive hand and likely a trump trick.

Agree with whereagles. N encouraged a penalty dbl with his XX.
