You seem to have a remarkably good hand in support of ♠. However one cannot tell whether partner's bid intended as a make or a sacrifice. Partner may not have known either.

Well, technically "w" is a vowel in this context.

I made a takeout double of 1♥.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I couldn't believe it took this long to find this comment being made. Me too.
I'm also sad someone beat me to the LL.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Scoring: IMP
Partner might have also bid four spades with something like this >
♠AJT9XXX ♥ XXX ♦ QX ♣ X
For sure he could tell from th bidding that you were short in hearts. Even if partner should hold a decent hand, there is no way to tell how well th hands fit. If you were invite a slam, he wont have any basis for knowing when to accept th invitation.
So a simple pass wins all th marbles? Seems luck is in. Lefty doesn't have a hand justifying a five-heart bid (which probably drive opp to five spades); and against spades East guesses to lead th ace of clubs. If South passed, plus 450 (two club ruffs represent East's only hope to beat four); if South bid on, minus 50 (against five, East's best chance, once he sees th table, is to shift on diamonds).

"I made a take out double" is not allowed. The vowel concentration is too high (58 %).

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

Don't come to Denmark, we have added three vowels to the alphabet, and removed W. So we have 28 letters.
The three ekstra vowels looks like this (hope they show correctly):
- Æ
- Ø (Also the word for "Island")
- Å (Also the word for a small river.)

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.
