Well, that is what we play, however this hand came up tonight and it kind of puts everything into question
Ok let me show you the hands
Playing MPs, all vulnerable, I (dealer) had:
♠ K 8 5
♥ void
♦ A J 9 6 5 3
♣ K 10 9 7
I open, LHO doubles partner redoubles. RHO bids 1H.... ok bidding goes:
1♦ - X - XX - 1♥
2♦ - 2♥ - 2♠ - 3♥
3♠ - X .......
The redoubler was holding:
♠ 10 9 7 6 3
♥ K 5
♦ Q 7
♣ A Q 8 2
Looking at it, after the board has been played, I think the redouble is terrible.
I think redoubling and then bidding a suit (with XXXXX) - that the doubler has shown 3+ cards in - is suicidal.
Soooo, now the problem is, consistency:
If we say: "redouble = 10+pts", then any other bid by my partner is a fib.
Personally, on that hand, I would have preferred P to bid 1♠ after Opp's double, but is that wrong?
