Hi,

4C, I would say the question is wrong formulated,
the question is not pass or pull, but convert or bid
on.

With kind regards

takeout takeout doubles

even tho this one is awful, you just don't have the stuff to convert at imps.... at mps... pass and lead a trump and pray

it would not surprise me to learn that passing was correct at imps as well.. I am beginning to rethink my fear of doubling the opps into game...not to lose that fear, but perhaps to modify the extent to which I allow it to influence my bidding.

Pass at MPs. 80/20 we beat them in my experience - 1/2 the time we'll get it -2 (+)'

I might pass at IMPs, but its a little swingy and Id never do it vs a weaker team, or where I was sitting on a lead.

Agree, but I agree with others that it's close to a pass at IMPs.

Definitely I would pass at MP, I doubt I'd have the stones for it at imps even though I suspect its the right bid.

edit: ok my post was basically the exact same as mikeh's :)

Obvious pass at MP, probably right to pass at IMP's too, but not sure I could stomach that.
Kind regards,

Looks like 3M EW is cold

Proving once more that even if you hate it, don't pass pd's T/O X unless you have a clear penalty pass.

this hand prooves nothing. It prooves just: If pd makes an offshape takeout double, you are in an ugly situation. Wow what a surprise: It sometimes backfires if you don´t have your bid. So what is new?
