pass - 1♦ - pass - 1♠
1NT* - Dbl** - ???

* ♣/♥
** Penalty

What is now:
- Pass
- Rdbl
- 2♦
- 2♠
- 2NT?

[pclayton]

Redouble says we might have the balance of the deck; 13-14 balanced and probably 3 in one of their suit.

I don't know what 2♦ / 2♠ mean.

2N should be 4-4 in our suits; pick a suit at the 3 level.

3 of our suit should be blocking; with probably 5 in the suit.

XX = equal length in suits
2D = C longer
2S = gt in H
2N = ??

I don´t have any agreement, is the double strong or support double?

[mr1303]

Redouble should be for rescue, asking the 1NT bidder to pick one.

I think 2D should be to play here, especially if the 1D opening doesn't promise 4 cards.

2NT should have good support for both suits, willing to play the 3 level on strength (3m should be pre-emptive)

2S I don't know. I like partners who don't make bids like that.

[inquiry]

I am going out on a different limb here...

Pass = equal length, or weak escape Partner is expected to redouble
2♣ = longer or equal clubs - partner is free to raise as this is real clubs
2♦ = my suit is diamonds, but I am weak
2♥ = longer hearts (presumably not broke) - partner is free to raise as real hearts
2♠ = game try, good dimaonds, three card heart support
2NT = preemptive club raise
3♣ = not as preemptive club raise
RDBL = shows a great hand with diamonds (trap pass)

Partner mightr refuse to redouble with 5-5 type or very weak 6-5 type hand over the pass.

If the bidding goes...

1x-p-1y-1NT
X-P-P-XX
P-2H/2C <<===== partner had best not raise without his own really great hand. See immediate 2C nad 2H.

As usuall i play simple, and the main point is that when we get doubled at the 1 level we look for escape and not for games.
2c=clubs better then hearts
2H= hearts better then clubs.
pass= no preference
those are the only bids i would use because i dont like testing my partner
but if partner use others i will understand
2d=natural
redouble=strong

Beat me to it. To me, in that situation, pass shows equal length in the unbid suits and a poor hand and redouble will show the opposite, a good hand with cards in the enemy suit(s).
