Pass for me as well. P couldn't act over 2♥ with 0-1 ♥. Conclusion, RHO has got some values and is bidding game on power.

Slam the red double card onto the table, fold up my cards, and write "4Hx" on my personal scorer.

Failing that, pass.

Put the bloodthirsty look on your face and smash the red dbl card on the table ......

but i well guess the TD won't let you keep the score

so it's pass for me unless, penalty dbl is agreed.

Lightly pick the green card out of the box. Gingerly place it on the table.

When pard finds the reopening double, take all of the remaining pass cards out of your box and sprain your right thumb as you dent the table with the stack. If you do this correctly, players that are four tables away should hear your call. :)

We need an "I double you" and a "double" button on BBO.. the "I double you" is penalty, the "double" is take out... . :)


long story, I actually got this explaination once ... more effective perhaps than the shout double and the long long long hesitation and then meek double.

Pass. Besides, I'm not even sure we can set this. We could easily end up with 2 trump trick and 1 club if a singleton is lurking.

Pass: wtp? Seriously, I cannot think of any bridge reason to bid. Anyone who doubles has no understanding of the game.

The other alternative is saying, "Double - your lead, partner."

What happens if you pass now, and after LHO passes you make a double out of turn? Don't the laws force partner to pass at every turn now? :P

I bid 3♦, hopefully they don't accept the call and I can double forcing partner to pass :). Sadly director will sent me out after this, but I will have a laugh.

Don't you think 3♣ was better to direct pd's lead?
