pard will start doubling if they start going too high.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Pass - this isn't a penalty double of hearts (unless partner's double was takeout.)

If dbl is penalties/optional, dbl and lead the small heart.

If dbl is take-out, pass and wait for pard's dbl.

If dbl is undiscussed, dbl anyway.

Easy pass. Doubling leads to what we call "doubling momentum" where you think have you have to double everything after doubling once. This usually leads to the opponents getting a weird score you don't see every day.

Don't see how double helps things.

Im afraid the AK of D will get ruffed. I suppose partner X of 2D show desire to play 3D. The 2H sound like 4405.

Oups misread the 2D was natural....

but im still afraid my AK will get ruffed. So i pass

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
