I am going to double and lead ace and a trump.

Maybe some of the high-level cheats know what to do without looking at their hand, the rest of us mere mortals don't.

edit: Incidentally this reminds me of when I played my first ever congress. I was a beginner at the time and being tired, an opp said nice hand. It didn't occur to me she meant the cards I held!

PhilG007 'What do you do as East ? Do you pass or press on to 5 ? Does the vulnerability influence your decision? Does the scoring come into your reckoning?. On the above auction, what would be your action when playing A) Match Point Pairs B) IMPS C) Board-a-Match(Teams) D) Rubber Bridge'
++++++++++++++++++
Vulnerability, scoring-method, bidding understandings, and your hand all influence your decision. You might even give up on the penalty double and, instead, agree that double strongly suggests that partner bid on, unless he has extra defence. Long s, your and holdings (e.g. xxx or shortage) might suggest a sacrifice). Vulnerable, you are wary of sacrificing, but non-vulnerable, you are keen to sacrifice, especially at pairs or BAM. At cut-in rubber-bridge, with a poor partner, you are loth to sacrifice.
