Definitely with the majority on this one, balancing x with the south hand and a wtp 4♠ by north.

You can't call this a balancing DBL?

No, it seems like a balancing double is defined by americans to apply at low levels only. Then again, if I define this position as low level..... :angry:
Kind regards,

Not sure if you are joking Harald, but it is East who opens 4♥ in third position, west deals and passes

You can't call this a balancing double because of position not level. Balancing doubles mean you have the option to end the auction but don't.

Ahh, that's what happens when one doesn't read the OP just before making replies. I thought the auction was 4♥ P P right till this moment. Sorry guys!

I PASS.

Looking at the two hands we seem to have a suitable dummy for a 4♠ bid but it is not completely clear we will win 10 tricks.

I don't believe you, Wayne.

I am very conservative when partner is a passed hand.

Perhaps the aces mitigate towards bidding.
