But Leonard Cohen argues that this leads to errors in assessing total tricks. ;)


I don't think that was what he meant, Suzanne. Perhaps he was the Dealer?

This idea is very oldfashioned - I don't think even the LOLs at my club play that. I much prefer the ability to prebalance - say you have a reasonable ten-count with short hearts, that's not enough to make a first-round TOX, but a clear "reopening" over a bid that's going to otherwise end the auction.

With most reasonable ten HCP counts with a singleton or void in hearts I make the first-round takeout double over 1♥.
