Scoring: XIMP


(1♠)   -  X  - (1NT) - Pass
(Pass) - X - (Pass) - 2♥
(Pass) - ?

Agree so far?

What now?

I might have bid 2♦ on the second round, to avoid this problem. Showing a strong one-suiter is probably less of a distortion than showing a strong takeout double of spades.

From where we are now, pass seems the only possible action.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Partner would have passed the double with anything more than 4 points, so you're not missing a game. Partner is possibly going to be playing a 4-2 fit, but bidding 3♦ now will be overstating your hand. I'd pass first and pull to 3♦ if doubled.

I wish I was playing with the partner that I played a 15-20 1N overcall with, but realistically you have to double first time. I think I'd bid 2♦ second time, but if I doubled, I must pass 2♥ here, I've shown a big hand and partner hasn't bid more than 2♥.

Bidding looks fine. Does partner know he could pass the second X? If so then I have to consider the possibility of a psyche but in all likelyhood I will just pass.

Easiest pass ever. Would have bid 2D last time.

Yes 2♦ last time, in fact I prefer pass to another double.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
