Do you have any agreement or is there any standard for a double of an artificial bid on the second occasion that you could have doubled in a particular auction.

I thought about this during a Gerber Auction during the weekend but it could apply to other artificial bids.

(4♣) PASS (4♥) PASS
(5♣) DBl ...

What is the difference between doubling 5♣ without doubling 4♣ and vice verca and doubling both?

Usually you were scared they could make if you doubled the first one. Doubling twice does not exist.

A reasonable agreement:
  • _X then _P suggests both a lead and a sacrifice.
  • _P then _X suggests only a lead.
  • _X then _X indicates a sacrifice but suggests a different lead.

Sure it does.

If you play that 4♣ asks YOU for Aces, DEPO applies. So, X = no Aces (or two), second double = no Kings (or two).

I always play that in midnight KO's.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
