Scoring: IMP


(1♣) x (1♠) ?

Partner does not double on the same crap y'all do - she is a pretty sound doubler.
What is your call/plan?

2♦, not worrying that it's an underbid since I'm quite sure I'll get another chance and bid hearts next at a higher level.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

This is the nicest way to start a post. Attacking whoever will answer.

2♦ does look fine, planning to introduce hearts next.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Not offended in the least by the "crap" that we double on because I believe that a large part of the bridge population (wrongly) feels this way and I will continue to collect good boards for competing.

I agree with josh lets show our shape and I can't imagine a case where 2♦ is passed out.
All IMO. Junior wanting to soak up all the knowledge he can.

2♦, ♥ later. If you want to hear about doubling on crap... Ask Wayne about his partner! ;)
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

I figured they were going to bid a lot of clubs, so I bid 2♥, planning on diamonds next, which was probably a poor plan.

The bidding continued with a support double on my left and partner jumping to 4♥, ending the auction.

Partner had: AKx JTxx AKQx xx.

So, 6♥ is decent, but there is a diamond ruff threat (not relevant on this hand as LHO has the void and heart ace), but 6♦ is quite good.
