And as many other situations, not implemented the right way


A penalty double on about 0 tricks

Just making 11 when I lead the normal trump

But I have learned yet another lesson

.. are you saying North should pass out 3 with an 11 count opposite an opening hand? Don't forget there was no initial double of 2..

Nope, but Double is not the right bid.

Either you can double the first time - GIB define that as penalty (10+ hcp), or you can bid 3N with a -stopper.

You could also define double here as T/O

In real bridge it is also possible to bid 2 at the first round showing limit+ with -support.

Yes GiB has penalties, usually passing takeouts of 2 or 3 of a major
To be fair there occasionally is a successful defence if you can find it
I have become so traumatised that I hardly ever risk such a double

Let me check GiB's card on doubles below game
