Daily Bulletin Page 3 JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS Troubles with doubles By We’ve all been taught at mother’s knee that when the opponents have opened the bidding, in order to make an , you must have a five-card suit. So what do we do when this type of hand comes along? ♠ K Q 6 4 ♥ K J 8 2 ♦ A 6 3 2 ♣ 7 Suppose your right-hand opponent (RHO) opens the bidding with 1♣. If you bid 1♠, you will be promising a good five-card suit. What’s more, partner will inevitably have a singleton spade and a bunch of hearts. Bidding hearts or diamonds is equally wrong. The solution is to make partner pick the suit, by making a . You say double and partner is forced to bid now. Note that the fewer cards that you own in the opponents’ suit, the more cards you will have in all the other suits. Partner is being forced to bid, so the more cards you have in the suits partner will choose from, the more useful your hand will be as a dummy. Responding to a takeout double: When partner makes a takeout double, you must respond and may not pass (with one rare opponent’s suit, bid 2 NT. With 13 + HCP, bid 3 NT Passing partner’s takeout double exception). However, if your RHO makes a bid, Rebids by the takeout doubler Suppose you are South and you hold then the pressure is off and you no longer need to You have doubled a 1♦ opening bid with ♠ 7 6 5 ♥ A 9 8 ♦Q J 10 9 8 ♣6 2 respond.

On the following hands, your bid (13+ points). You have also promised that if in order to pass partner’s takeout double, you must have at least three sure tricks and an LHO has opened with 1♦ and your partner has you are the doubler with only 13-15 pts. you will outside ace. made a takeout double.
