Hello, can you please help me with few doubts..
Playing E in MP

1.

What now? You know pard could bid 1s with 4 little spades and as little as 5 quacky points, or even 4HCP and some shortness.
Would X from you be a support double or penalty?


2.

Do you pass or bid spades? You know p loves to bid, and his overcall can be very light



Thanks : )

Yeah, double on the first one should be support, but you could agree otherwise.

I'd pass on the second one.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the 3.

what he said. bidding on the 2nd one is gross imo. if partner has a good hand he can act again at which point you will be delighted to offer your contribution.

As Hanoi5 says, but if you agree that it is NOT 3 card support, maybe you need to put more definition into that 1 bid. If that was a guaranteed 5 carder you can bid 2 of course. I'm happy to play it 4 or 5 when using a support double.

1) I would play supX here.

2) Easy pass with this junk. You may be able to bid later if PD shows strength.

I play supp Xs but I do not think they're mandatory over a 1N bid and I would pass. Pass on the 2nd one obv.
