Hand Analysis - Vic Johnson - January 18, 2021 - Double or Open

 

Vic:

I see West is dealer. Apparently, the auction started out:  Pass - Pass - 1H? That is what I would open holding the East hand. 

Holding five spades, I believe South should subsequently overcall 1S. 

Holding four spades, I would suggest South overcall with DBL which partner should interpret as Takeout. In fact, if the spade Two was a club, the South hand would be a textbook Takeout DBL hand (opening points & 4-card tolerance in each of the unbid suits). 

Depending on how they count their points, some East will open 1NT instead of 1H. If that were to happen, holding the South hand I would Pass.
