- Bob,
-
- Would you be kind enough to post more details/explanation of this method?
- My partner has insisted on power doubles (15+ points appx.), which mesh well
- with a weak 1N takeout (shapely 8 to non-shapely 14) and potentially very
- weak lead-directing overcalls. However, we have not established a very
- coherent set of sequences after the power double, especially when there is
- further competition.
