Absurd. What is your reference for shading second double? When doubler fails to pass in later rounds, it is reserved for game interest opposite roughly nothing.

It's advancer's job to do all the partnership's overbidding.


Sorry it's just bridge, what do you want partner to do with KJ109x and an ace over 1-X-2/3 ? You have to protect this as almost nobody can double for penalties here and you have to take your opps for 300 rather than 100 to beat your part score.

You do not build a system based on exploiting psychic bidding. You just pay off.

No psyche at all, if you have none and opps stop at the 2 or sometimes 3 level, partner is likely to have 4-5 particularly in 4 card majorland, it's not unknown for him to have 6 at the 2 level (partner opens a strong NT or weaker 4441 1, you have a 3316 or 1345 6 count and bid 2).
