Scoring: MP


Bidding.

Your partner opened 1 ♦
Opponent overcalled 1 ♥
I bid d (negativ, exactly 4 card ♠)
4th hand passed

Partner re-bid 1 NT (12-14)
Opponent passed
I passed (maximum 25 pts together - and no real suit to make tricks)
4th hand doubled

Partner passed
Opponent 2 ♥

Now you - ??????

In a diagram (would love if there was a generator for such as well)

N      E    S  W
1♦    1♥   D  P
1NT  P    P   D
P     2♥   ?

What's your bid?

**************

Well to me it was a 100% clear double - it could go down but I had to find some funny ways to get our tricks.

Partner had - Qx - Axx - KQxxxx - xx

My partner greeting me with the words that my double was stupid, and that I am a donkey - that one was new to me!!!!

I could find some other ways to bid my partners hand.
Rebid 2 diamonds.

When doubled in 1nt - take out in 2 diamonds.
When opps doubled in 2 hearts: take out in 3 diamonds (or 2 nt).

A club or spade lead and we are down one in 3nt.

Yeah you are right, dbl is 100% obvious. I agree that p should have bid 2♦ instead of 1NT.

You showed good restraint in passing 1NT and the 2♥X was to be your reward.

Ditto everyone else.

Partner's decision to rebid 1NT could be excused as matchpoint-based greed. But, he cannot then pass your double. He has a dead minimum with very little defense. Your pass of 1NT suggests strongly that you have diamond tolerance at worst. Passing your double was worse, IMO, than not rebidding 2♦. Both were bad, but the second decision was a lunatic decision.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

You bid fine, your partner flubbed it and was rude to boot. My suggestion is to find another partner to play with, I would be happy to ablidge on BBO

Cheers, Theo

I think 1 NT was not so bad from partner. You play MPs, so this may work much better then 2 ♦.
And I have no problems with him sitting the double, could have worked.

But when he sits 1 NT x and 2 H X, he should not blame anyone but himself for a bad board.

He made some non standard descissions, took a big risk and failed. He should look into the mirror and blame anyone he sees there.
Kind Regards

His 1NT is one thing, but over the balancing double on his right should CLEARLY bid 2♦. Not doing so is hopeless imo.

I cannot fathom a 1NT bid even in matchpoints. If the Ace of hearts is knocked out there may be zero entries for the diamonds to set up, thus playing in a diamond partial is wayy better so your partner should rebid 2D.
After his 1NT and 4th seat X'd, your partner's pass (instead of 2D) is lol.
And yes, I would also have X'd 2H with your hand given how the auction went.
