1♣-p-1NT-2♠

RHO is a funny junior player, you don't trust his bidding. If you double, it's for penalties. Do you double? All vulnerable, total points.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

lol, everyone plays this double as penalty when they have AKJ8 of spades.

This is not a penalty double give me a break.

Pass. Hopefully partner can balance with a double.
Kind regards,

You know 100% that partner would take it as penalty. This happened to my oops who like very old fashioned bridge. One of their rules reads "after somebody bids NT all doubles are penalty".

I wouldn't double even if it was penalty. We have 4 tricks and partner hasn't shown much other than length in my long suit. There is significant chance they make and a small chance they run effectively.

It is close though since we are beating them 2 a reasonable amount of the time too.

  • Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

Seeing the title of this thread, I thought I had done something wrong. lolol

Pass: you are still on a minimum, balanced opener, and I suspect the an X here is more card showing. I would like to dbl, i don't think they can make it, but to do so would also give rho another chance. Partner still has another chance to bid.
I know. Wrong again! my excuse is that I am a poor bridge player!!!

(another plug for 13-16NTs. makes life so much easier.)
