DOUBLE TROUBLE or
When I said "Double" I meant "Double" not "DOUBLE".
A 1993 book by Sally Horton
On Monday 25 August at 7:30pm, led by David Morel, 27 bridge fanatics discussed the various meaning of "double" as espoused in Horton's book. Takeout doubles, negative doubles, responsive doubles, doubles of artificial bids - it was all covered.
Partnership agreement is the key - you and your partner must understand each other's doubles
If you're in the "protective" position (that's the last bidder following the opener, with no other bid) you can double on as few as 6 points!
As well as discussing when to double, how to respond to a double was also covered. Some responses can depend on how brave you feel when bidding, but, once again, partnership agreement is the key!
So, those who attended left with systems to help improve their doubling, and their responses to partners' doubles - and the wise advice : Don't be afraid to double!
