pass. no particular reason to think this will go down. P could easily be void in spades. If he isn't, dbl might help them running when that's correct.

I don't get it, where do I get all these apparant reputations from and I don't even know what they are? I don't even know if the jdonn reputation is to double here or to pass here! But this is an easy pass. Clee I think you need to consider giving up caffeine.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

No one even says anything about the opening bid on these cards, let alone the 2♥ rebid on 4 small.

You have got to be kidding.

4♠. I think RHO psyched twice.

Nah!

Pass. Double probably works, but I'm a chicken.

Ehh, the hand is sitting over the opener and passed throughout, and the question is whether you should double 3NT for a spade lead or not.

IMO it's an easy pass, not remotely close to a double.
Kind regards,

I have too many spades and the worst possible diamond holding. Why should this be going off?

That's because the hand belongs to openers LHO, not opener.

Easy pass. I have too many spades, and I am already feeling sick by looking at my holding in diamonds. I know, if I don't double, partner will lead a club from 4, 5 or 6 cards. Can't be helped, the contract would likely make anyway.

Easy pass.

Take away two little spades and I would x.

Sorry. I was fooled by the nomenclature.

(P) means the opponent's side passed.

I didn't notice that the question was for the last bid by second hand.

The proper notation on this problem would have been to put parentheses around the bids, not the passes.

lol, this was a hand from Beijing, and I should've just put it in "Interesting Hands."

Double gets a spade lead, which is the only way to beat it, assuming declarer plays carefully.

Nice to know that Genius Bridge is an international phenomenon.

Double. Really hoping they run to 4D. Pay off if they sit.
