If your evaluation was that this hand wasn't worth a game bid (not unreasonable) then I think you need to pass 3♠. Was there a tempo issue at the table?

The first two are obvious doubles.

The third is a take-out double for me, I think 4D is a bit too much. I don't like 3H as partner is entitled to give preference to clubs with a 4324 (say) and then Ive effective forced the 4-level; if I was going to do that I'd just bid 4D.

If I double and partner bids 3S I pass of course, if I thought I was worth driving game I would bid 4D last round.

IMO
  • _X = 10, 2♣ = 5, _P = 3.
  • _X = 10, 2♣ = 6, _P = 2.
  • 3♠ = 10, 3♥ = 9, 4♦ = 8, _X = 5.
    4♦ is fine provided it just offers a choice of games.
