A hand from the recent BBO-JEC match. Made several errors but was particularly curious about this hand:

Spoiler? They haven't done that yet. I will laughingly pay off.

If I double, they (spoiler). If I don't double, they make 3NT. If partner has a killing lead he's free to ignore me... but on the auction, he won't.
There's no choice but double here.

There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!

If I'm a moderate player in Norfolk, I hesitate and pass, partner leads a club and the director doesn't understand and sees no reason to adjust

Glad to see people agree with the action I took, will just chalk it up to bad luck and move on

No, occasionally Lightner doubles backfire. If slam makes anyway, you beat all those giving up -1660; and they can't bid 6NT after a hesitate-and-passout.
