- - Here's what i would do:
- -
- -
- - p p* 3d X** *2 spades if non-vul
- - p 4S p p ** Life is tough
- - p
-
- Life is tough alright, and those that live by the sword die
- by the sword. That's true both of those people that open 3D on
- 5 to the ten, and those that double, *especially* at the 3 level,
- without support for the other two suits, and without the
- strength to make another call.
-
- Sometimes you get screwed, you know; that's the game.
-
- I'd pass with the South had, but I'd bid 3S with the North hand.
- Where does that get you? Perhaps back to 4S, as I'd probably
- still be sitting at the table (as South) after the 3S call.
- But I would *never* double 3d.
