South 2nd DBL is a bit of a stretch perhaps, but IMO its okay. Given the auction North has a clear 4♠ bid, so he's to blame 99%

South's second double is from outer space, he simply does not have enough extra. I agree north should bid 4♠ but he was getting a terrible board either way. South is the one who gave away the nice luck of EW missing game.

5% north, 95% south. I give south 100% for the result, but just want to punish north a little bit since I don't agree with his action. But all that means is he failed to jump out of the fire and into the frying pan.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I think south is about a queen short of a minimum second round double.

South should not x again. Given that she did make a very poor call, North should bid 4S.

I fail to see what does South have to double. I think that is the crucial mistake by either side in this hand.

South doesn't have a 2nd double. This is barely a double of 3♦ much less four.

North's best chance when the second Dbl comes back to him is hope for a one trick set - a reasonable expectation considering that South doubled twice. I think 100% South for the second double, he is too light for it.

I agree with the others here that South is too light for his 2nd double, but as North I have to choose my death in 4♠. Blame 90%S 10% N

North for passing his partner's takeout double with a small doubleton and South for doubling twice without the values for it
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Natural. An invite to 5 :rolleyes:

Incidently, I blame North because that's not the right type of hand to pass the double.
