IMP, robot tourney, best hand South


A respectable but unfortunate final contract, and one which I would not worry about ending up in on occasion myself. But the route there seems odd.

I thought that the first double was ill-judged and the second ill-defined.

OK, the first double could have worked out spectacularly well. Rather a unilateral gamble but not that bad, and the vul seems right. Shame I did not have the bottle to stand it.
But the second double? Is it takeout? Is it penalty? Is it ANYTHING?
