Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

double over 1♥ would have been helpful.

I'm one of the few people about who could have overcalled 2♣ to show 5+♦/4♠, but failing that X must be better than 2♦. After 2♦ there's no recovery.

2♦ is an all eggs in one basket bid. I can think of a lot of hands where it goes 2♥ back to you and you might belong in spades but it's a huge risk to back into them.

Double first and you can pretty much fold your cards and put them in your pocket, a transfer of responsibility.

I agree 100%.

If your religious beliefs forbids a double first round, you need to bid 4 ♠ when it is your second turn.
If you think that this is crazy- I do- better rethink your religious beliefs about bidding 2 ♦....

Maybe because Gonzalo Hanoi had not had this bid avaiable and want us to decide what to do under these circumstances?



Although consistency requires a man to be as ignorant today, as he was in the past, i still think such a quick enlightment in 1 day is hillarious :D

"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
