There are two hands I've just played where GIB N and I are in a constructive sequence, and the opponents waltz in. In both cases, I doubled which in my opinion is a clear penalty... GIB leaves this double in, and then the opponents try something else which I also smack. But for some reason, my GIB pulls this 2nd penalty double. Perhaps there is some agreement that after a clear penalty double, double of the run-out is inverted or something?

I can't see the records, the hands aren't up yet on myhands, but it's hand 37 and I think hand 35 from the set I played today around this time (1700-1800 GMT).

This is the second of the two:

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.
