re:Poll: (1S) dbl (2S) - 2006/07/27 09:41
Partly I wanted to test the theory that most North Americans play a double as both minors, and most British players play it as any two (or perhaps three) suits. This seems to have been supported by the responses.
The other reason is that, being unconvinced of the merits of either a natural 2NT or Lebensohl, I wanted to know whether any other method was in common use.
I've been toying with playing that a double promises exactly four hearts,
2NT shows both minors, and 3H shows a five card suit. The idea is to make sure that the partnership finds an eight card heart fit when one exists and avoids playing in a seven card fit unnecessarily. Also, it may help the doubler to judge whether to bid 4H, either competitively or constructively.
A similar method might be used after (1H) dbl (2H).
