The double of a suit bid promises at least 3
cards in each of the three unbid suits. It
guarantees at least 8 points in the unbid suits
If it forces partner to bid at the three level (the
opening bid was in a major suit), it promises a RPC
in the unbid major of 13 or more. If partner will
be able to respond at the two level (the opening
bid was at the one level in a minor suit), it
promises a RPC in spades of 11 or more.
Partner is expected to respond in his best
suit not bid by the opponent even if he has a
bust hand. One exception is where partner has
has 5 or more of the enemies suit, then he passes
and the takeout double becomes a penalty double.
