Scoring: MP


1♣-1♠-3♣-4♠
Pa-Pa-5♣-X
Pa-Pa-Pa

What shoud West think and do? If West passes, should East double or bid 5♠?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Double shows a misunderstanding of this auction. 4♠ has a wide range, only real game forcines in high cards would make a stronger bid (4♣). So West has a very offensive hand given all possible 4♠ bids, and thus he cannot double 5♣.

Kinda' sums it up.

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.
