- Now this hand and club suit IS good enough to double, then bid clubs
- over a diamond response from partner. I absolutely agree with a double
- here. Contrast it with the previous hand.

- In any event, I now bid 4H. What's the problem? You certainly can't
- be thinking of more with 4 losers. If partner has 2 or 3 cover cards
- he will move over 4H.
