Why did pd make a fp with this hand? This is a double!

For the same reason I bid 5/5: vulnerability+MP

well if you and your pd don't work out what a fp hand looks like, you will get many poor results. Fp should show hand types and not say take a guess, after all both sides can see the vulnerability.

You mean like scoring 14% in 5♣X + 500? My 72% in +650 doesn't follow your theory.

up to you. In my mind your pd's pass with this hand says, "pd you probably have not seen the vul. I don't know what to do. Make an inspired guess. I am not going to tell you what sort of hand I have." here the ck is wastepaper in your contract, but is a trick on defence. Anyway as I said, up to you.If 5 had failed, you would have got a foul score by bidding on and tied with those who faced the same situation and bid sensibly if you doubled.You will note that I bid on, assuming your partner had his pass. It is your pd's pass to which I take ex eption.

Double (cooperative). We were in a game force, so we don't let them play it undoubled.
